I believe the answer is:

egomania

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'too much confidence in one's own depiction' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'image on a building' is the wordplay.
'building' indicates anagramming the letters.
'image'+'on'+'a'='imageona'
'imageona' with letters rearranged gives 'EGOMANIA'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egomania that I've seen before include "Obsessive self-centredness" , "self-centred obsession" , "Feeling very self-conscious" , "Morbid self-exaltation" , "Thinking of oneself" .)
