getting over oneself
Releasing self-importance finally
Getting over oneself means setting aside excessive self-importance, self-pity, or wounded pride.
The phrase usually appears as a command or exhortation to someone being dramatic or taking themselves too seriously: Get over yourself—nobody cares that much about your Instagram.
It suggests the target is inflating their own significance or dwelling on slights that don't merit the attention.
