big ego
Inflated self-importance syndrome
Big ego describes an inflated sense of one's own importance or abilities.
Someone with a big ego craves attention, overestimates their talents, and may dismiss others' contributions: His big ego makes him impossible to work with.
The phrase carries negative connotations—confidence is admirable, but a big ego suggests vanity or arrogance that alienates others.
