egomaniac

Consumed by self

An egomaniac is a person with an obsessive preoccupation with their own importance, abilities, or desires.

The term implies not just ordinary self-centeredness but a pathological inability to consider others: He's such an egomaniac he can't even ask how your day was.

Unlike clinical narcissism, egomaniac is informal—an insult rather than a diagnosis.
