Unconditional positive self regard is a condition common among athletes, politicians, and celebrities in general where their high regard for themselves is unconditional, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
That cornerback with "unconditional positive self regard" got burned for three touchdowns, hasn't made a tackle all day, was benched twice for blown coverage and now that he has intercepted a meaningless hail Mary off a third string quarterback with two seconds left with his team behind 42-0 he's celebrating like he won the Super Bowl.

An extremely annoying but relatively common theatrical routine performed by certain types of local hipster musicians that seems to come easily, requiring little rehearsal in advance. While all creative people are understandably prone to a certain degree of self-absorption, these individuals are forever engaged in obnoxious self-promotion campaigns, celebrating their musical endeavors in a manner designed to give the impression that they are infinitely more successful, talented, and adored than the everyday, basically unknown “artist.” Recurring themes include: stating that they could—but won’t—drop names (and then dropping them), backhandedly complimenting your own efforts (with a smirk), and offering to do everyone a favor by playing their latest “demo” at parties. As with all such routines, the ‘condescending, self-regarding, celebrity-in-the-making musician act’ is nothing more than a sad attempt at obscuring the truth (which is that they have cushy but unfulfilling day jobs), as well as an opportunity to wear those gay fedoras.
Dude #1: Are you going to Dan's tonight?
Dude #2: I’ll pass. I need a break from his condescending, self-regarding, celebrity-in-the-making musician act.
