Arrogant narcissism is a personality trait that is characterized by excessive self-love and egotism. This behavior is often seen as negative, as it is associated with selfishness and a lack of empathy towards others. Synonyms for the term include self-centeredness, smugness, conceit, haughtiness, and hubris. A self-centered person is often focused solely on their own needs and wants, without regard for others. A smug individual shows excessive satisfaction in their own achievements or abilities, often feeling superior to others. Conceited people tend to inflate their own sense of importance, while those who display haughtiness demonstrate a sense of superiority or disdain towards others. Hubris is associated with an exaggerated sense of self-confidence, often to the point of arrogance.
