Urban Dictionary describes someone who is self-important as, “a person who overestimates their own importance and exhibits arrogant or pompous behavior.”
We’ve all met people who are full of themselves and their capabilities. Kanye West was a star in his own mind before he made it big as a rapper, success became a self-fluffing prophecy for him. Sure it is impressive and admirable, but for the people who were around him on a daily basis it was probably exhausting.
Self-important people can suck the attention in a room away from everyone else, everything is about them and how wonderful they are. They talk incisively about themselves and then turn around and dismiss the opinions and achievements of others.
We all have to deal with people who are self-centered, if you have a friend who turns every conversation back to being about them and negates your accomplishments you may want to move them out of your inner circle.
If you get a little tired of being around someone and their self-important attitude, try out a few of these comebacks.

I’m sorry. I don’t see you wearing a crown or tiara. I guess that means the rest of us don’t have to bow down to you.
