Önthetségre

Önthetségre, a Hungarian term, translates to boastfulness or vanity in English. It describes an excessive pride in oneself, often accompanied by a tendency to exaggerate one's achievements, abilities, or possessions. Individuals exhibiting önthetségre may seek constant admiration and validation from others, displaying a disregard for humility. This behavior can manifest in various ways, from overt bragging to a more subtle, persistent seeking of praise. While a healthy sense of self-esteem is generally positive, önthetségre suggests an imbalance, where self-worth is heavily reliant on external approval and a distorted perception of one's own importance. In some contexts, it can be seen as a sign of insecurity, where the outward display of superiority is a defense mechanism. The term is often used in a descriptive, sometimes critical, manner to characterize individuals who appear self-aggrandizing. It is distinct from genuine confidence, which is rooted in a more stable and internal sense of self.
