- 1自我放縱(貶義;跟「犒賞自己」不同,犒賞偏正面)
Self-indulgence is letting yourself have or do things you enjoy but do not need — extra cake, another episode, a costly treat — especially when you do this often. The word almost always shows : the speaker thinks you are spoiling yourself too much. A one-time treat is usually just treating yourself; self-indulgence is the habit, or a moment that feels a bit too much. It is a grown-up, slightly formal word. Though actually, people sometimes put it on themselves with a grin (“a little self-indulgence”) to the blame, as if to say they know it is extra and they are doing it anyway. It is about pleasure and comfort, not about thinking you are a big person — that would be self-importance.
