I don't think everybody is self-righteous. I now some who's self esteem is so low they can't see themselves as being right much less righteous.
Some of the most righteous people I have known are very self effacing and accepting of other peoples views and opinions even if they are diametrically opposed to their own.
Self-righteousness for the most part is a characteristic of sophomoric philosophers who haven't discovered there own sense of wonder in the complex and contradictory nature of the universe and mankind.

People are self-righteous because moral superiority is a pleasurable emotion.

Most of us are good at recognizing the faults in others and ignoring our own. The Scottish poet Robbie Burns

said something about seeing ourselves as others see us, and the passage of time since he said that has made it more true than ever.
