The term self-gratulation refers to the act of self-praise, self-applause, or self-congratulation. However, there are several other synonyms for this word, such as self-adulation, self-glorification, self-apotheosis, and self-glorifying. Additionally, self-pride, self-complacency, self-admiration are also some of the synonyms that carry the same meaning as self-gratulation. Many people often use these synonyms to describe someone who is excessively self-absorbed and praises themselves publicly. While it is important to have self-confidence and self-esteem, it is equally essential to maintain humility and avoid self-gratification as it can lead to arrogance and a negative image in the eyes of others.
