NOUN
A person who is very self-centered or selfish:
"They are self-obsessed solipsists who spend massive amounts of time locked away in their studies."
Solipsism; from Latin solus 'alone', and ipse 'self')[1] is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.
