Gatson in Beauty and the Beast is very confident about his appearance and skills, often using self serving beliefs/comparisons as a way to neglect his weaknesses and keep a positive self concept. The unrealistic optimism phenomenon (3.4 How Do People Maintain a Positive Self-Concept) can explain Gatson's belief that he is great at everything.
