Usage of here in 'enjoy here'
Is this one natural to use?
"I am enjoying here."
I think that the verb 'enjoy' needs an object like 'enjoy oneself' or does the 'here' function as an object?
What do you native English speakers think?
Thank you so much as usual in advance!

"enjoy" needs an object, so the only way to may sense of "I am enjoying here" is to make "here" the object, as you suggest. However, it is not a very satisfactory sentence. You would instead say "I am enjoying it here" (where "it" is a dummy).
