wallowers
Those who wallow
Wallowers are those who wallow—indulging heavily in something, usually an emotion or state.
The image comes from animals rolling in mud or water, suggesting immersion and lack of restraint.
Most often the term carries judgment: wallowers in self-pity, wallowers in nostalgia.
Occasionally neutral, describing those who luxuriate in pleasure: wallowers in comfort.
