Re: Arrogance
I cant bear arrogance or even over confidence in others either it makes me turn away from people.Im naturally someone who is quite shy and very quiet in real life and like nothing more than to blend into the background and to just LISTEN rather than speak,its amazing what you can learn by listening and observing closely.
I tend to think that arrogance is encouraged in childhood...its as if the children have never been told NO at any point and had praise at every opportunity even if that praise was unwarranted. So the child then learns that no matter what they do theyre wonderful....yukkkkk hate that style of parenting.

Re: Arrogance
I am not convinced it's up bringing some if the most arrogant people I ever met had very shy gentle parents, they became arrogant in adulthood. In their case it was as they prgressed in business and became more successful financially. I still know their parents and they never see their children as the children won't even acknowledge them.|
