self-loving
Absorbed in oneself
Self-loving describes someone who regards themselves with affection and care, or who prioritizes their own well-being.
The term can be neutral or positive—Self-loving practices like meditation help maintain mental health—but it sometimes carries a whiff of narcissism or excessive self-regard: He was too self-loving to notice anyone else's needs.
