self-centered

“When we are really young, we’re a bit self-centered,” she says.

A person her age is inherently self-centered, unaware that she is part of a bigger whole.

“I got to a place where I got over myself, because actually thinking that way is quite self-centered, and I think a little bit non-appreciative too.”

She relocates “The Seagull,” as a program note specifies and her production flamboyantly conveys, “to the self-centered Me Generation of the ’70s that followed the social upheaval of the ’60s.”

The fact that they are being paid to do this, with all the trappings of every parents-under-stress reality show, only adds to the air of self-centered exploitation.
