Do you find arrogance: Annoying, insulting, offensive, funny or just plain old tragic! I personally find arrogance in a person to be mostly a mix of funny & tragic (especially given that I know that the genesis for a lot of arrogance is being simultaneously overly praised/spoiled & neglected as a child). But......how do you see it? Let's here it!
I find it offensive, insulting, and rude. It most probably does come from being overly praised and spoiled as a child...but as an adult I find I don't give a whit WHY it is. I've worked for some of the most inept, arrogant people you can imagine. I despised them...but I learned the only way to deal with them - if you must deal with them - is to just go ahead and feed into that shit. If anybody knows a different way to deal with/handle arrogant asses, I'd be more than happy to hear suggestions. I know a few that I avoid at all costs...some of them kin. Godalmighty. I'm so so so glad I draw (early) SS and don't have to put up with that anymore.
It depends on how they go about it. I spent much time surrounded by fighters, some who present an arrogant and boastful persona while others are much more modest. I don't see much of a difference other than just outward appearances. Especially if they can back everything they say. I find the judgmental attitudes towards arrogance and boastfulness to be much more pathetic than an arrogant persona. Like i say, it really depends on how they do about it. But from my personal experience qualities like modesty are highly overrated. And i can often spot the hidden arrogance, and snobbish attitude behind the modest persona.
It's a characteristic everybody portrays differently. Maybe some people take things different ways, being arrogant to some but not others. Hehe.
I don't know of too many people I'd consider "arrogant" per se. I don't know anyone who walks with their nose stuck in the air. I don't know anyone snooty.
When you're as awesome as me its hard not to be. I just have to keep that part contained to avoid bruising peoples fragile little egos.
