But it's relevant here when we're talking about a distinction between the forgiveableness of egotism vs self absorption

I should clarify then. Not talking abt abstract ethics but whether you can continue a relationship with someone.

If someone actually thinks they're better than me, no. If they focus on themselves due to self-doubt, yes.

On some level, yes. I'm better than many in verbal ability & nearly everyone is better than me in spatial ability.Not the point

An egotist is some1 who thinks everything revolves around them & others less important. Compare this with miserable self-doubt

Yeah, I totally agree there's a significant distinction between the two.
