Ego-gasms, the joy and euphoria produced from the dopamine hit from self validation, as portrayed by Tom Hanks after making fire in the movie Castaway. Soccer stars often display such feelings of elation after kicking a goal.
Sadly, such feelings of joy over self validation run both positively and negatively and include acts of self validation by invalidating others , bullying. The APA's DSM V lists "gratification" in the traits for "Antisocial Personality Disorder".

Mainly sports but can be attributed to other areas such as Finance and Arts. It is ego based wherein one thinks he is a big fish to society but the reality is he or she is only big to the group that he represents such as a star in the nba nfl mlb etc.,
Johnny thinks we care about how great of a swimmer he is but the only people who think he is great is the cult of ego which is other swimmers. The rest of us don't give a shit.

Who you think you are. It gives you a sense of identity and pride. It also pushes you to survive.
Without our ego we would not do anything and die.
