I think enthralled or rapt are appropriate. Enthralled seems best. You may also be like in the song - Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered.

Enthralled - to be held spellbound; captivate

1. deeply engrossed or absorbed: a rapt listener.
2. transported with emotion; enraptured: rapt with joy.
3. showing or proceeding from rapture: a rapt smile.
4. carried off spiritually to another place, sphere of existence, etc.

i think of egocentric is an appropriate word, and a egocentric guy or woman isn't fairly comparable to an egoist, the adjective btw could be the two egotistic or egotistical. To me an egoist is somebody who's additionally boastful and has a great sense of their very very own self-value, while to be egocentric is merely to behave without regard for the well-being of others so this would additionally shop on with to somebody who would not have a extreme opinion of themselves yet merely won't be able to for some reason act in a worrying and sharing way in direction of persons. Self-focused frequently means merely being particularly inward finding and preoccupied with oneself.

I call it two words: "tunnel vision."
Some folks say "having blinders on."
Others: "addicted"... probably the best word.
