self-worship
Loving only oneself
Self-worship is excessive admiration of oneself—treating one's own desires, opinions, or image as worthy of devotion.
The term implies vanity taken to an extreme, where self-regard crowds out concern for others: His self-worship made genuine friendship impossible.
Unlike healthy self-esteem, self-worship suggests a kind of idolatry directed inward.
