English term or phrase: Full of yourself
How would you say "you are so full of yourself" in Hebrew?
I have seen it as "את/ה עסוק/ה בעצמך". Would that be right? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Explanation:
את/ה מלא/ה באוויר
That's a rather "nice" way to say it (along with the subcontext of "hot air"...)

I would wait for other suggestions though.
