CONCEIT; excessive appreciation of one's own worth or virtue

It's one thing to be egotistical and another being conceited. But, having both acquired qualities at the same time! Odious!


I'd imagine that a person this unique, revels in the nucleus of attention; smiling and laughing at nothing and everything amidst his/her silicon world of non-existence. Simply because there aren't any substance of reality to begin with. Both the words, ego & conceit, implies delicately on one's mental coherence of what is. Hence, it will be very likely a grave & almost-fatal flaw to ever conceive the notion or idea that one should try correct an affected person.

But what if the consequences resulted by the affected person are indeed grave? Does subtlety have meaning at all here? Bringing up issues only to be thrown back flatly into your own face, there's no reasoning affected people! So why even try at all???
