self-obsessed
Only about me
Self-obsessed describes someone excessively focused on themselves—their appearance, feelings, problems, or achievements—to the exclusion of others.
The term is always critical, suggesting a lack of awareness or concern for anyone else: He's too self-obsessed to notice when his friends need help.
Unlike self-absorbed, which can suggest mere distraction, self-obsessed implies an active, consuming preoccupation.
