Thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy schedule to view and read my article yesterday.

Today I would like to talk about a bad habit and act that can diminish one value in the society. I strongly dislike people with such and I know a lot of people do.

Arrogance is an attitude and behavior characterized by excessive belief in someone's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the rights and thoughts of others, their accurate assessment of themselves, and their sensitivity to the feelings of others.

Arrogance is one of the worst habits that someone can have. It can lead you to lose friends, make enemies, and harm your reputation.

Arrogance can be found in a number of different places, whether it is in politics, sports, academics and even religion.

Arrogance is a character flaw that has been around for ages. In fact, arrogance stems from a more general psychological condition called narcissism.

Narcissism can be defined as an excessive love or admiration for yourself and your own appearance. It is essentially an exaggerated sense of self-importance. This often leads to being overconfident and having too high a self-esteem to the point where you are too confident in your own abilities. A person suffering from narcissism will always seek adulation, praise and flattery.

Arrogant people are usually the most insecure people you will ever come in contact with. They lack confidence and lack any type of realistic self-esteem. They try to compensate for their lack of confidence and self-esteem by being a pompous ass. You can spot an arrogant person because they will not agree with you on anything and will probably cut you down continually just to make themselves feel superior. They are bored easily, and tend to be boring people themselves

If you have a relationship with an arrogant person, get out of it immediately, because it will eventually lead to self-destruction.

When someone is arrogant and ignorant, the world is dangerous for them, and for those around them.

There are people out there that become arrogant because they are very wealthy. They use their money to manipulate people, They don't like to be told what to do, what not to do, or how to do it, because they have all the money in the world and, from their perspective, why wouldn't anyone want to listen or follow them, if they have all the money in the world.

WAYS TO AVOID BEING ARROGANT

• Do not brag about how successful you are

• Stop thinking that no one else can do what you do as well as you can

• Try not to be self centered.

• Try to be open-minded and considerate of the feelings of others.

• Listen to what people have to say and think about what they are saying rather than thinking of your own rebuttal

The only "good" thing about arrogant people is that arrogance is not contagious and they cannot pass it on to anyone else, so they can't hurt anyone else but themselves. Break up with them, avoid them and never, ever let them get under your skin.

Closing Thoughts

Arrogance is a bad habit or act that we should eschew from our daily lives. Most importantly, we should never be arrogant to other people especially those who are less fortunate.

Often, arrogance is seen as a positive quality. Many people tend to think that arrogance can help us achieve greater success in life; however, what they fail to realize is that arrogance is actually one of the biggest detriments to our own personal achievement. As we strive for success, it might be a good idea to avoid this bad habit.

If you're intelligent you'll be humble and listen to people. If you don't, then you'll be arrogant and annoy people.

Special thanks to my amazing readers and sponsors.
