If I say you got some balls to post a question like that. That’s arrogance!

And if I just say kabhi koi chaj ka question bhi poch lia karo, That’s Confidence :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Confidence versus arrogance

confidence is not to feel inferior, or insecure about oneself.
arrogance is to feel superior over others and failure to acknowledge one’s faults/limitations

Re: Confidence versus arrogance

Confidence normally doesn’t make others feel bad.. arrogance does..

Confidence entails an element of humility to go along with it. Arrogance doesn’t. Confidence is realising that whilst you’re good at whatever, you’re not above others. Basically what I’m trying to say is balance confidence with humility

fine line, same as genius vs insanity.

Re: Confidence versus arrogance

Next question - insecurity and how it perceives confidence. If a person is insecure, might they see confidence as arrogance despite the confident person having that humility?

Yeah I think the insecure person will see it as arrogance. But that’s a reflection on them rather than the one with confidence/humility. Both extremes are unhealthy (insecurity and arrogance). But I think the two are healthy in small minut doses. Balancing them is the tricky bit

Re: Confidence versus arrogance

There are different types of confidence. For me subtle confidence is the best, knowing when to talk and when to keep quiet and how to present yourself in public without being overly out there or easily accessible to anyone and everyone–the balance is key, just something very classy about subtlety. There are people who are over the top in more ways than one (personality, apperance, how they project themselves to the rest of the world) and they think it’s confidence but they come off as cheap and sometimes even trashy, just not polished but not necessarily arrogant. Others may just get turned off by it. Doesn’t mean they or others are insecure and neither is the other person being arrogant. People just have different definitions, personalities and tastes. But balance is key in life–many don’t know this art.

Definitely! It’s about individual perception.
