Does calling people conceited make you conceited?

Answer:
Someone who is conceited has an inappropriately high opinion of himself or herself.

Calling someone conceited does not necessarily make you conceited, though if you do it habitually and indiscriminately it might suggest that you have too high an opinion of your own judgment. The wording of your question - 'people' rather than 'someone' - implies that you might be overdoing this, which should perhaps make you consider your own position.

One way of checking this out is to canvass the opinion of other people whose judgment you trust, and see whether they also believe that so-and-so is a conceited person. If there is a consensus, you are probably not conceited; if you are in a minority of one, you may be.

In any case, it is a good idea not to become too judgemental about other people, lest they turn the tables on you!
