I wouldn't say usually. Just when their self-assuredness enters the realms of the absurd, I'd say.
I guess, but it's hard to tell. And it's hard to tell where it starts and ends, even to them, I reckon. I have a mate at uni who tries to dominate every situation he's in and can never accept that he's wrong, which is probably mainly because he's insecure, but instead of admitting that to himself and embracing it (so to speak), he just convinces himself that he's the king shit. It's different for different people though, obviously. A lot of people seem to think I'm a bit full of myself, which is a shame, because most of the time, I'm doing it in an ironic, self-mocking way (e.g. "I'd know that because my film knowledge is so much better than yours" is clearly a ridiculous embellishment, but people seem to actually take it seriously rather than a joke...)
