I'd say misguided, idiotic pride and ego as well (although, you could make the argument that they aren't mutually exclusive kek). My grandfather was a great man, and among the many amazing mantras he had was, "When making decisions in life, put ego and misguided pride aside. You only live once, so you might as well not go through life worrying about what others think, especially since they aren't giving you anything tangible for their opinion." I've lived my life based on that mantra ever since he taught me that in my teens, although it takes years to hone it almost perfectly (and you'll never get to that point 100% unless you're a total sociopath).
Another favorite- "You can always tell the character of a person by the way they drive." kek
