conceitedness
Inflated self-regard
Conceitedness is an excessive pride in oneself, often accompanied by a dismissive attitude toward others.
Someone displaying conceitedness believes they are superior in ability, appearance, or worth, and often makes sure others know it.
His conceitedness made it hard for coworkers to collaborate with him.
The quality implies not just self-satisfaction but a lack of awareness about how one comes across to others.
