self-absorbed
This term carries a strong negative connotation, suggesting a lack of empathy or a failure to recognize the needs of others. It describes a psychological state of inward focus that borders on narcissism, where the individual is trapped in their own mental loop of concerns or desires.
While similar to "selfish," this word emphasizes the cognitive state of preoccupation rather than the active desire to take resources for oneself. It is frequently used in interpersonal critiques to describe someone who is oblivious to their surroundings due to an intense internal preoccupation.
