Reveal meaning and examples
Having or displaying an exaggerated sense of one's own significance.
His self-important speech treated a routine announcement as a historic event.
In a small design collective, one member sounded conceited when he declared that nobody else could understand a logo as well as he could. His egotistical presentation spent most of its time celebrating his achievements instead of answering the client's questions. A self-important introduction then described him as the indispensable authority on every creative decision.
