Looking at my son one morning, gazing at his cellphone, I was reminded of a term that was popular in my day: navel-gazing. Now, when I checked the Urban Dictionary, it gave me today’s definition, without mentioning its origin. So, I will add it here:
TODAY’S DEFINITION:
navel-gazing
Engaging in self-absorbed behavior, often to the point of being narcissistic.
“If she would stop navel-gazing, she would realize the light had turned green.” #self-absorbed #narcissistic #not humble #snooty #selfish by bryanr01 January 17, 2007
