Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power. The adjectival form of the noun hubris is hubristic.
The opposite of Hubris is humility, or what the Greeks called Sophrosyne. It can be described as âNothing in excessâ and âKnow thyself,â meaning having a clear understanding of your character, your strengths and limitations.
