fuckception 695 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 They say there is a thin line between confidence and arrogance. What separates these two concepts? What makes someone confident but not arrogant? Discuss. Many people here think I'm arrogant but I'm not, I'm just confident A little self-love is not a bad thing you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chungie 1,215 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Basically, confidence is belief in one's ability. Whereas arrogance is related with overbearing superior attitude. e.g Confidence is like "I can do this" whereas arrogance is like "Only I can do this" or something like that.

kay 4,312 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Isnt it simple? Confident people are self-assured, and arrogant people suffer from a feeling of self-importance. Only people who lack confidence themselves confuse the two and label those who are confident as arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestJoy 257 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Confidence should be backed up by ability and experience. Unless you prove you have ability, and/or develop experience you are arrogant by definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenting 1,781 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 confidence is thinking you're good enough, arrogance is acting like you're better than others. also, confidence is a feeling while arrogance is an attitude, one affects you while the other affects those around you.

krusty95 1,432 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Confidence is having the belief in your capabilities. Arrogance is knowing and showing that you are the only one who has those capabilities; i.e. like your the legend or champion and no one else can knock you off. That's how I interpret it .

You're right, I should hide it. People who don't have confidence might feel bad tbh this reminds me of these bitter people who don't want others to be happy because THEY are sad... -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fartsniffer 1,023 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 http://onehallyu.com/index.php?/topic/11108-what-is-the-difference-between-self-confidence-and-arrogance/ it's how they react to criticism it's a very thin line between those two, but what i've observed is that confident people - listens to you initially; and if he/she finds your advice/opinion to hold weight, he/she will continue to ask for opinions. But if you've been giving irrelevant points he/she will eventually brush you off. lol arrogant people - does not accept external input initially, but if you've proven to be very capable; he/she will slowly warm up to you. Basically, you must first earn his respect if you want he/she to listen. TLDR; confident - assumes everyone to be worth their time before filtering the unworthy ones out arrogant - assumes everyone to be unreliable until proven otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuckception 695 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 smh at the people who said it's the same posting my opinion too: Confidence for me is a positive trait whereas arrogance is negative. Confident people feel good about themselves but they don't show off. On the contrary, arrogant people want others to know they feel good about themselves and try to bring others down, wanting to prove their superiority. Arrogance can be annoying, confidence cannot. People who confuse these two should reflect a bit and definitely refrain from calling confident people arrogant since it is quite insulting.

PD101 Rep: BoA 1,183 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Whatever you do, don't feel the need to hide your confidence and positive energy. Negative and insecure people being the way they are shouldn't influence you to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toshi 1,466 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I haven't read through everyone else's responses but for me its: Confidence: being happy with what you look like, your ability at something, knowing your good at something or look good etc Arrogance: thinking that everyone else thinks your the best at something, look the best etc Its ok to be confident in yourself obviously and you should be confident in your looks and abilities etc, but when you start to think that you're the best and that everyone else thinks it too thats arrogance to me, thinking you're gods gift to the world.

Prosperity 209 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I think being confident means that you know your abilities to do something well, you know your limits. And being arrogant means to think that you are better than you really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
