What is arrogance?

Arrogance is a person’s firm belief in his own personal superiority over other people, often expressed in outright disdain for others.

As the name suggests, an arrogant person looks down on others while holding himself to some higher ideal. He does not take into account the feelings, thoughts and wishes of other people, imposing his own point of view on them and demanding the immediate fulfillment of his desires. In principle, such people do not tend to respect anyone except the circle of individuals they have chosen, who in their eyes represent a kind of elite. Arrogance leaves its mark on a person’s appearance, on his gait, gaze, facial expressions and manner of communication, manifesting itself in an appraising and arrogant expression in the eyes, a mocking squint, an imposing gait, a constant grin, etc.

Typically, the tendency to arrogance is explained by compensation for uncertainty, and often also a person’s mistrust of himself. Its manifestations can be traced from an early age; subsequently, this trait begins to develop, becoming one of the key ones in a person’s character. Fighting arrogance in adulthood is much more difficult than in youth, although, if you wish, you can defeat it at any age.

• love of cynical jokes;
• inability to empathize and have compassion;
• excessive demands on their children, spouses, partners, parents;
• commanding arrogant tone;
