Dr .Bell talks about a spirit of a person that is all about themselves. It is the demeanor of one who can become an individual whom others loathe. Self-righteousness can develop into having narcistic tendencies; if left unintended.

Self-righteous people require a lot of attention. These individuals must have things their way. They are not supportive of others and believe they deserve what they want regardless of how anyone else may feel. They stuck on themselves.

Self-righteousness will not allow the individual to support anyone else whole-heartedly simply because they require too much attention. Their emotions are seated in jealousy, envy, and even hatred.
