Egotism
Egotism is the drive to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself, and generally features an inflated opinion of one's personal features and importance. It often includes intellectual, physical, social and other overestimations.〔Robin M. Kowalski ed., ''Aversive Interpersonal Behaviors'' (1997) p. 112〕
The egotist has an overwhelming sense of the centrality of the 'Me', that is to say of their personal qualities.〔William Walker Atkinson, ''The New Psychology'' (2010 ()) p. 30〕 Egotism means placing oneself at the core of one's world with no concern for others, including those loved or considered as "close," in any other terms except those set by the egotist.
==Characteristics==
Egotism is closely related to "loving one's self" or narcissism - indeed some would say “by egotism we may envisage a kind of socialized narcissism”.〔Samuel D. Schmalhausen, ''Why We Misbehave'' (2004 ()) p. 55〕 Egotists have a strong tendency to talk about themselves in a self-promoting fashion, and they may well be arrogant and boastful with a grandiose sense of their own importance.〔Kowalski ed., p. 111-4〕 Their inability to recognise the accomplishments of others〔Mark R. Leary, ''The Curse of the Self'' (OUP 2007) p. 91〕 leaves them profoundly self-promoting; while sensitivity to criticism may lead on the egotist's part to narcissistic rage at a sense of insult.〔Kowalski ed., p. 121-2〕
Egotism differs from both altruism - or acting to gain ''fewer'' values than are being given– and from egoism, the unremitting pursuit of one's own self-interest. Various forms of "empirical egoism" can be consistent with egotism, but do not necessitate having an inflated sense of self.〔Kowalski ed., p. 113〕
