Backup. Confidence is backed up by actions. Arrogance is just words. Finally I get it. If two big men get into a small argument in a medium-sized bar, and one says, "Back up, buddy, or else you gonna be sorry" then the one with the self-confidence is the one that backs up. Or I am full of self-confidence, coz my life is now lived with my back up against the wall, fighting tooth-and-nail for survival in this strange, mechanized, electrified, faceless world with no name, smell, or warmth. Sometimes my toilet bowl gets really self-confident. I hate when it does that. I would call it more arrogant than self-confident those times, but hey, I've gotta go with the concensus.

confidence is the mirror that lets us see our own strengths arrogance is the one that lets us see everyone elses flaws...

I believe it is how you perceive it. After all... it is how YOU feel after the conversation.

Confidence and arrogance ...... That's it? You guys ain't even trying. Some of us are also cocky, vain, egotistical and narcissistic. :)

It's easy really. Confidence is the attitude that gets the chicks. Arrogance is the attitude that drives them away!

Arrogance is brash, noisey & with out manners. Confidence is quiet, dignified & respectful of others. It has NOTHING to prove.

It exists in us all.... to have moments of both.... Those who are focused on self.... have more arrogant moments..... Simple really......

A confident man is considered arrogant when he refuses to suffer fools.

A confident man will rest by leaning against a wall, an arrogant man will ask someone what time it was. A confident man will watch the road back, to see if the bus is coming, the arrogant man will scratch his elboy, if it itches. A confident man will walk upstairs one step at a time, and an arrogant man comes down, after he had gone up. A confident man will do his dishes, and shake the bedcover of breadcrumbs; an arrogant man will sweep up his place and adjust the picture on his wall if it hangs crooked.

A confident man keeps talking because he enjoys the power of self-expression, the arrogant man keeps talking because he likes his own voice to be heard by others.

Confident people will listen and comment on what you say, where arrogant people tend to dismiss whatever it is you say, in my experience. This is it, arrogant has been there and done that no matter what it was.

A confident man is considered arrogant when he refuses to suffer fools. somehow i like it very much ! Not just fools, but narcissists, high maintainance full-of-game purposeless self-indulged peoples, know alls n attention grabbers. But thats a digression. If he is the man, his positivity, sincere interest n respect will shine through !
