Jesus is the son of God. He was also God himself on Earth. He cannot be self-absorbed and narcissistic in the sense you mean. Self-promoting? Well, He certainly promoted a better life and future for the many, many, many people He taught, a better way through only Him. I suppose you could say He was promoting Himself, but for the benefit of the people He loved, to give them eternal life.

Jesus is not capable of being negatively self-absorbed. Christians strive to be full of Christ, and to live as He would want them to live, and to be ever mindful of His teachings in all they do. Because God is the same as Jesus, certainly Jesus would try to keep His heart turned to God at all times. This might be self-absorbed, in some sense of the word. He doesn't think only of Himself or do things for His own gain, He does the things He does for His children.

Was Jesus self-righteous? He didn't need to be. He was righteous alone and righteousness itself. He did not have to think Himself better than His friends or anyone he saw on Earth; He was God. God is everything. He did not, however, act with superiority. Jesus was very humble, especially for God's son, and God Himself. He did not act like He thought He deserved special treatment from the people or leave destruction in His wake when He met nonbelievers or people who treated him cruelly. The man was born in a barn and died with thieves. And it was God all along. Self-righteous? No. The way to righteousness? Yes.
