overproud
Excessively full of oneself
Overproud means excessively proud, having more pride than is warranted or healthy.
The word suggests self-regard that crosses into arrogance or vanity: He was overproud of his modest accomplishments.
Parents may be overproud of children, artists overproud of their work.
The prefix signals that the pride has become a flaw rather than a virtue.
