arrogant
Too self-important
Arrogant describes someone who has an inflated sense of their own importance or abilities, often combined with dismissiveness toward others.
An arrogant person assumes they deserve special treatment or that their opinions matter more than anyone else's: He was too arrogant to ask for directions.
The word implies not just confidence but an offensive excess of it.
