self-admiring
In love with oneself
Self-admiring describes excessive appreciation of one's own qualities, appearance, or achievements.
The word carries a critical edge—someone self-admiring isn't just confident but preoccupied with their own reflection, literal or figurative: He posted another self-admiring caption about his workout routine.
The term suggests vanity that others find tiresome.
