If you know you are good, without confirmation from those around you, you are professing the height of egotism
I would disagree with this. Looking for confirmation of oneself from without strikes me as extremely unreliable. The images people reflect of you are so often distorted by how well you have met their needs, not by who you really are.
What I hear from X is that she knows who she is, is confident in her sense of herself and has no need for praise from without. To me this indicates not egotism, (an inflated sense of her own importance to anyone but herself) or egoism, (concern only with her own self-interests) but a healthy ego that is comfortable with her own beliefs.
Interestingly, this really seems to upset some people, who find her self-assurance threatening in some way.
