Thinking oneself is better than others is an illusion. There is nothing real to gain from it. Now an offensive display, that sounds like fun. Sometimes people put others down for no reason. They suck. I think there is a definite difference between actively trying to put somebody down and somebody's insecure personality fabricating insults. All of it is illusionary..... confidence is illusion as is arrogance.... it is all about how we perceive ourselves, and how others perceive us. Denegrading others with or without a reason is an indicator of where someone is at.... Perceived denegration is something illusionary... also an indicator of where someone is at... Jaaaaaysus... I am getting more foggy on this the more I try to process it...

I am confident in certain areas... like oil painting. I'm good, but not as good as I could be. Lots of room for improvement.
Arrogance is in thinking (or knowing) that you are right and they are not only wrong, but very possibly idiots. LOL Sometimes I have been known to be arrogant. I would rather risk being a little arrogant than to be a person who lacked confidence. Confidence comes with knowing that you can do something well and in knowing something directly from experience. Arrogance often is book knowledge.. thinking that you know something... but you couldn't do it if your life depended on it. Just some ideas on the subject. |

Arrogance often is book knowledge.. thinking that you know something... but you couldn't do it if your life depended on it. Hmmmm... so in this vein..... confidence is the knowledge that comes from experience? Arrogance from the 'academics' of it? |

Hmmmm... so in this vein..... confidence is the knowledge that comes from experience? Arrogance from the 'academics' of it? For me, in my personal life, my confidence comes from personal experience. I can read a hundred books on how to loose weight and get fit, but until I actually do it myself, I may not have the confidence that I could do it. I think confidence is a personal thing having to do with knowing what you are capable of. |

To apply this to painting a picture, I have a book that explains step by step how to do it, what tools to use, etc.
I tell people they can do this if they just read and study the book and understand and do what it says. But they don't think they can. They need the experience. They can memorize the book and they would still not have the confidence that they could actually do it until they do it. It takes eye and hand coordination, and you have to learn how to see things differently... a book can't teach these things. |

Confidence is a quiet self-assuredness.
Arrogance is boisterous, grandiose and obnoxious. |

I'm a braggart!! Or I would be if I knew what the translation from aussie to yankie was....  Bragging is embellishing yourself and essentially creating a "bigger than life" persona that doesn’t truly exist. Generally people brag who are suffering from low self esteem. It is a combative coping mechanism. |

Okay do you really want my novel response????lol
I dont think you are arrogant, but then again im pretty open minded. Besides i take what people say with a grain of salt! arrogance is often confused as confident, but never the other way around unless one is lying to themself. Confidence to me is not wearing your abilities on your sleeve, just having the prescence of i am confident. Usally people that have many failures in their life call confident people arrogant because they are jealous. Some arrogant people call themself confident when they are really arrogant. self reflection will help! The line between the two is very thin! But the difference i really beleive is if you can appreciate that some people are better than you at certain things and give respect to their talents without jealousy and in turn know that youll get em next time! |

I'm an arrogant narcissistic conceited jerk, but I've worked hard to get there. I took a course and everything. Once every few years, there's a refresher seminar. It takes a lot of effort to be this good at being arrogant.

An arrogant person gives off the idea they're superior to others.
