Humility is the quality of being modest and having a low sense of self-importance. Some antonyms for humility include arrogance, haughtiness, conceit, and hubris. Arrogance is the act of overestimating one's own abilities or importance, while haughtiness refers to being disdainfully proud. Conceit is a type of pride that results in excessive self-love or admiration. Finally, hubris is excessive pride or self-confidence that often leads to one's downfall. These are all qualities opposite to humility and can cause social distancing and a failure to gain people's confidence. It is important to practice humility in order to gain the respect and cooperation of others.
