It used to floor me how my teen daughter could be maddeningly conceited one minute, and then a puddle of insecurity the next. Love the dimensions you address in the post. Thanks.

Wonderful! I will keep this handy not just for my writing, but to ensure that I don’t become too full of myself. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

That’s so funny you picked a photo of Brenda Song. My younger daughter loves that Zach and Cody show, but I can’t stand it!

Yes.. mister darcy.. one of my favorite characters, just because his conceited appearance clashes with his loyal and caring nature.. I guess that is what makes him an interesting character.

You brought up some interesting things. It’s true. Just because someone is conceited doesn’t mean they have to be shallow. Interesting perspective!

Another great one!
I put a link to the Bookshelf Muse in my blog today–just quoting some of your categorizing ideas.
Thanks!

Conceit is an interesting trait, narcissism would be interesting to explore as well.

Thanks everyone! I have to say, this is a really fun thesaurus collection to do, and really makes me think about what a trait's impact is on behavior.

It’s so true that 90% of the time pride is portrayed in a novel, it’s paired with some unbearable trait like cowardice or stupidity. Sometimes proud people fit a situation perfectly, sometimes they don’t, but they’re certainly not all stupid cowards. 🙂

I’m so glad to see character traits thesaurus. This takes me back to the high school days when I had to deal with conceited high school kids. I wasn’t the conceited one, though. This jogs the memory a bit. Thank you.
