Open to interpretation

I don’t know how it is in other languages, but there are many words that mean similar things, but one is good, one is bad.

For example, marketing is good, while peddling is bad. Nobody peddles a legal or respectable product,they market it.

Similarly, if someone is negative, they’ll label a confident person as arrogant.

It seems as if they want you to be completely humiliated.

I have innoculated myself from this by just owning the term arrogant. I am proud of it.

I only know you through this blog, I do not think you are arrogant, but you seem confident, or over confident sometimes

Arrogant is superior dear. I think as long as you are confident without feeling better than other people (so still equal) then it is okay to be confident.

Have a good day.

1)Arrogant :
People with this chief feature, from the time they are young, are likely to believe they are destined for greatness. They feel they are not just another ordinary person: they think they are extraordinary. They tend to think they are a superior breed of human, not subject to the same imperfections as other “common” people. They may believe they are blessed with good luck. They have an exaggerated sense of their own importance, perceiving themselves as noble and grand, and feeling they are beyond and above the normal and average. They fancy that they will make a significant contribution to the world, and they have an unrealistic evaluation of their abilities, talents, intelligence, and other gifts — they see themselves as better than they really are. They have a desire to excel at whatever they do. They can be pretentious, haughty, snobbish, pompous, lofty, and conceited. This shows even in the way they carry themselves — with an upright posture, and in the way they walk — with a swagger.

The fear that drives Arrogance is the fear of vulnerability. Arrogant people do not want to admit to themselves that they are imperfect, nor do they want others to discover it. Rarely do they apologize for their mistakes. They have a need to avoid embarrassment and humiliation, because these things obviously show their faults. This is the reason the Arrogant are shy. Arrogant people avoid situations where they know they cannot excel. They are reluctant to try things that they know they will not do well. They perfect their stuff in private before they do it in public. They stick to the things they do well, and continue to perfect them.

2) Inferiority complex : a sense of personal inferiority arising from conflict between the desire to be noticed and the fear of being humiliated

3) Self-confidence
is the knowledge that you can do something and do it well. Self-confidence comes from firsthand knowledge of the task at hand, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, applying your skills to any situation and adapting quickly as the situation unfolds. People who exude self-confidence know they have what it takes to master difficult situations, and they are not afraid of failure.

4) boasting :
to speak with exaggeration and excessive pride, especially about oneself.

Most people will confuse arrogance with confindence. But it doesn’t really matter what people think. But it is of paramount importance for me. An arrogant person is an ignorant person and ignorance is not only deploarble, its outright dangerous for that person and those who are around. The reason for that is that an arrogant person won’t listen to advice, won’t look for new clues and won’t learn anything new and most previous knowledge often becomes obsolete. On the other hand confidence is based on realistic, honest self-evaluation. Not self-defeating but realistic. We are not perfect, sometimes that is painfully obvious, but we are still created in God’s image even if it’s never that obvious at all.

I think your assertive and confident. Your straight up and you speak your mind. Alas people( some ) will say you are arrogant. As they can’t cope with people who are straight up. Bad luck to them, you;ve been running this website for years and people subscrie to your site on a regular base. So you are doing something right.

Arrogant people are people who fancy themselves big time and this is evident in how they dress and act around others and to others. Usually they put people down. You are far removed from arrogant.

Super blog.Most people may having a confusion with arrogance .It is nothing but assertive and confident.If one has any form of over confidence, they label them as arrogant.

I think only people with low self confidence would label another person as arrogant for being so confident
Having confidence in your self as a woman is a very important thing in todays world of photoshopped supermodels and actresses,
