==Egotism – The First Stages==


Egotism is the drive to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself and generally features an inflated opinion of one's personal features and importance — intellectual, physical, social and other. The conceit of egotism describes a person who acts to gain values in an amount excessively greater than that which he or she gives to others. Egotism means placing oneself at the core of one's world with no concern for others, including those loved or considered as "close," in any other terms except those set by the egotist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egotism
