Why are some people self-righteous while others are not?

Overcompensation.

We are all self-righteous, just some people claim they're not and cover it up with audible-garbage or live in total denial.

Human pride, nothing more, nothing less.

How are you defining "self-righteous"?

I think that to be self-righteous implies a sense of comparison. You deem yourself righteous IN COMPARISON to others (i.e. I have a greater sense of moral clarity about -insert topic- than most people, therefore...).
Is everyone self-righteous? I don't think that kid's are. They may be self-centered from birth, but they don't really understand the concept of righteousness. First you have to understand the rules of morality, then you have the ability to attempt to take them into your own hands.

Interest in ones own self above all others.
I won't deny i'm self righteous, i put myself before other people if i have to, not because i want to. |

No, that's self-centeredness, not self-righteousness...
