big head
Inflated sense of importance
Big head is an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities—inflated pride or conceit: He's got a big head after that promotion.
The phrase often appears as a warning against letting success breed arrogance: Don't let it go to your head or Don't get a big head.
Someone who is bigheaded thinks too highly of themselves.
