What is Arrogance? Arrogance is overbearing pride or haughtiness. If your friends are constantly complaining about your arrogance, you might want to lose the haughty attitude and try to be more humble. Being arrogant is about the I’m right, you’re wrong” attitude. Most of times people tend to mistake their arrogance for confidence. Arrogant people are usually seen as distant loners who prefer their own ideas to anyone else, formally being arrogant means to devalue others and their contributions. Arrogant people measure themselves against other people and judge themselves to be better. It usually results in people feeling diminished, rejected and angry. There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance. This is especially true given both entail a strong belief in one’s own abilities. When it comes to the responses they provoke, however, that’s where the similarities end. Confidence is inspiring and pulls people to you, arrogance is a turn-off and keeps people off from you.
