| Apr 9, 2018 at 14:25 | comment | added | 1006a | The point of consulting a thesaurus before asking here is because you are the best interpreter of your specific need, and looking at all those choices might give you the right word. (Of course you should combine this with looking up unfamiliar suggestions in a dictionary.) If that doesn't help, then you can tell us what words you've already considered, and why they don't work for you, so that we don't suggest a bunch of terms that don't work. This is generally required for this kind of word/phrase request, along with an example sentence showing just how you want to use the term. | |

| Apr 9, 2018 at 13:54 | comment | added | Mitch | What did a thesaurus suggest? Did you do the usual exploration of a thesaurus, clicking on one suggestion, then clicking on suggestions there and so on? | |
| Apr 9, 2018 at 10:18 | comment | added | Green Grasso Holm | I can think of a bunch of related terms, though I don't know whether you would consider any of them euphemisms: self-serving, self-centered, self-involved, egocentric, lacking empathy. | |
