self-conceit
Excessive personal pride
Self-conceit is an excessively high opinion of oneself—vanity rooted in overestimating one's own abilities or importance.
The term carries stronger disapproval than simple pride or confidence: His self-conceit blinded him to his obvious shortcomings.
Someone full of self-conceit typically cannot see their own flaws or accept criticism.
