Are people who seem to be overly impressed with themselves actually trying to compensate for low self-esteem?

Perhaps...or perhaps it could be they actually do have a very good and healthy self image but the problem with worth is falling on the person trying to make this judgment about them in the first place...

In some instances I would say that is true. In others it is just pure arrogance which is a much nastier trait in a person.

I think that is exactly what they are trying to do. I think it's called the Napoleonic complex. People who feel they have short comings try to make up for it by being overly impressed with themselves. They make up a fantasy world were they are the most important thing in it and they are always right. Then they try to make the rest of the world fit into their idea of what should be. Maybe if these people's parents hadn't spared the rod they may have learned that the world does not, in fact, revolve around them. And sense I am out of points I'll give you this. Enjoy the irony of it. lol
