selfism
Prioritizing oneself always
Selfism is excessive concern with oneself and one's own interests—a pejorative term for prioritizing personal needs over others or society.
The word criticizes what speakers see as narcissism dressed up as self-care: Critics accused the wellness movement of promoting selfism.
It appears mostly in social commentary and religious contexts warning against self-centeredness.
