What is the difference between positive self-concept and conceit?
What will be an ideal response?
Conceit is an attitude of grossly overestimating your worth. Conceited people like to boast and brag about how great they are, often pointing out in the most annoying way how superior they are to others, or simply gossiping about others to make their own greatness more obvious (in their own mind).
People with a healthy, positive self-concept are secure enough that they do not need to boast and remind people of their greatness. Such people let their actions and accomplishments speak for them, and it is usually others who take public notice of the worth of individuals who have a strong self-concept.
