braggart
Self-proclaimed great one
A braggart is someone who boasts excessively about their accomplishments, possessions, or abilities.
The word carries a note of contempt—a braggart isn't just proud but annoyingly so, often exaggerating or inventing achievements: Nobody believed the old braggart's war stories.
As an adjective, braggart describes boastful behavior: his braggart claims.
