Someone who is egotistical has incredibly high
confidence in themselves. They often tend to be very pretentious and
arrogant. They tend to be disliked by their peers.
Thomas: I was one of three trumpets accepted into Northwestern's School of Music
Derek: With credentials like that, what fantastic job do you have?
