Self-righteousness (also called sanctimony, sententiousness, and holier-than-thou attitudes)[1][2] is an attitude and belief of moral superiority derived from a person deeming their own beliefs, actions, or affiliations to be of greater virtue than those of others.
[3] Self-righteous individuals are often intolerant of the opinions and behaviors of others that they deem to be less moral and virtuous.
