What is arrogance?

“Titans come before the event.” Have you heard this phrase before? Or have others told you that you are arrogant towards them? This can shake your self-image, especially if you don’t know why other people look at you that way. It often happens that our self-perception is very different from what other people think of us. We may have a lot of self-doubt with us, but others see us in a more positive light. Feedback like this is good and can help you accept yourself more for who you are. However, if the opposite is true, then it’s time to think about it.

Self-reflection is key here. We shouldn’t always believe what other people say or take it too seriously. However, if I’m hearing more and more that you sound arrogant, it’s time to think concretely. Is it because you live life with complete confidence? Is that why you might be so focused on yourself? Or are you particularly insecure and this is the only reason you seem distant and arrogant to others?

Whatever the case, it is good and advisable to consider it. This is good for you and helps to understand how you relate to others. Who likes to be called arrogant? These traits also associate people with arrogance:

Why do we seem arrogant to some people? By that we don’t mean what we do, we mean why we do it. There are three main reasons behind this:

1. You’re cocky: This is as simple as it is incisive. It can happen that people tend to act arrogantly – consciously or unconsciously, which plays a lesser role, because the result remains the same.
2. You are confident: Arrogance should never be confused with self-confidence. It’s great to be aware of your strengths, even though they may seem arrogant to others who seem less confident.
3. You are insecure: Insecure behavior contributes to others perceiving you as arrogant. For example, this may be because you seem particularly distant and intimidating. Maybe because you are standing silently in the corner and crossing your arms? Or overlooking a group because you don’t dare look someone in the eye?
