self-admiration
Loving one's reflection
Self-admiration is excessive appreciation of one's own qualities, achievements, or appearance.
The term carries a note of criticism—someone lost in self-admiration may be narcissistic or vain: His self-admiration was obvious in the way he lingered before every mirror.
It suggests a gaze turned inward that others find tiresome.
