Arrogance
A haughty or arrogant person can be defined as one who acts as if they are superior, more valuable, or important than others and underestimates them.
At the same time, however, the arrogant person longs to be admired and respected for their unique qualities and outstanding accomplishments.
Arrogance implies a desire to dominate, excessive confidence in one’s abilities, and seeing oneself as worthy of success.
Arrogance serves as a defense mechanism.
It's a way to protect our self-esteem and self-worth.
It is a way to hide and compensate for insecurity, inferiority, and lack of self-confidence.
Arrogance helps us to reject others before they can reject us.
It is, therefore, more common to behave arrogantly towards strangers out of fear of rejection.
In many cases, a person becomes arrogant because they have managed to go so far and have won achievements that, for others, are hard to achieve.
Doing something extraordinary that almost no one can achieve stimulates our sense of self-worth, sometimes to the point of seeing others as less important.
Arrogance makes people care a great deal about what others think of them.
They depend on the approval of others.
Sometimes, people behave arrogantly to win attention they can't get otherwise.
A characteristic of arrogant people is that they constantly seek others' admiration by showing what they have achieved.
They love those who adore and praise them but hate indifferent others.
They tend to attract attention at any social gathering.
The whole conversation revolves around him.
If someone starts talking about something else, they immediately try to get the attention back on himself, if necessary, by interrupting others.
A haughty and arrogant person is usually charming when you meet them.
Their extraversion and charisma captivate many, but this does not usually last long because there is a lack of empathy, contempt, selfishness, and resentment behind it.
They usually speak loudly, are stubborn, dress, and put on makeup in such a way as to attract attention.
In this way, they hide their insecurities, executing behaviors that show their power.
For arrogant people, everything they do is fine.
They are never wrong, and they always find a justification for their mistakes.
For example, "I didn't receive the information on time," It was not explained clearly."
If they receive criticism, they act defensively and don't listen to what they are being told.
According to arrogant people, they do nothing wrong. Therefore, they will neither ask for forgiveness nor apologize.
For them, the problem is in the other person.
Arrogant people criticize others quickly, emphasizing the mistakes and weaknesses of those who do not meet their high standards.
They need to correct others' mistakes and even make others fail to highlight their weaknesses.
Arrogant people only talk to those who think they deserve their attention.
