Are you arrogant?

[WillyBrandt]

I admit it--I'm arrogant. I'm very nice, and am humble about some things, but am arrogant and becoming more and more so.

It's not a positive development, nor one I welcome. But that's how it is. Perhaps it's a function of youth, unhindered yet by the hard knocks of life. Perhaps not.

Are you arrogant?

[Gothic Sponge]

1. No, but i'm too humble

[flamingyouth]

2. No, just better than you

;)

[imax2268]

3. I wouldn't say arrogant...

but I can be very sarcastic...and I live for people to ask me stupid questions...I can be such a smart ass...!

[BigMcLargehuge]

4. a humble nature opens more doors than a battering ram

[WillyBrandt]

5. Do you believe that is true?

[BigMcLargehuge]

11. I do, and I live by it

:)

[WillyBrandt]

18. Wow. In truth, I have found the opposite in life.

[The Traveler]

6. Arrogant? Of course not.

That would imply I am incorrect in my self assessment, which is clearly impossible. ;-)

[lpricanprynces]

7. Yes

I would say that I'm arrogant, to an extent. At least I don't deny it.

[MercutioATC]

8. Fuck you. How dare you ask if I'm arrogant!

:smoke:

[Zomby Woof]

9. I am a meek puppy dog

[Rowdyboy]

10. No, and I have to say that I my advanced age of 50,

I still as unimpressed by arrogance now as I was at 18. I went to a really good college where I was only one of MANY achievers. I quickly learned that, while I was brighter than many, many more were brighter than me. In the scheme of things, my intelligence has helped me, but my laziness and lack of ambition has hurt me.

In other words, I'm well aware (and proud) of the positive parts of my mental makeup, but I'm also aware of my shortcomings-which are many.

You really don't strike me as arrogant, though, and I read a lot of what you write. Regardless, life will beat it out of you in a few decades so don't sweat it now.

12. I'm an intellectual snob.

I'm humble about most of the rest.

[UrbScotty]

13. Yes, so SHUT THE CHENEY UP!

:P

[lpbk2713]

14. I guess I could be perceived as arrogant.

I am not real quick to compromise when I know I'm right and can be stubborn at times when it comes to giving in. I'm probably more of a loner than a team player. Good, bad, or otherwise, it's too late to change now.

[SarahB]

15. I am extremely polite and civil, but I don't put up with crap either.

I expect a lot from myself and generally achieve what I want (eventually anyway), so yeah, to a degree, but it's better than being a doormat for the rest of the world. BTDT.

[MrSandman]

16. Arrogant?

Not me. I made a mistake once and I adnitted it.

[Selwynn]

17. No, I'm just aware of how right I am. :)

...kidding....

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. I try not to be, but I have to make a conscious effort at it. The natural

human condition is to stay in the comfort zone. Admitting you may not be right isn't exactly within the zone for most folks. So they may seem arrogant if they appear to think they know everything, and what they know is right.

[BlueHandDuo]

20. I'm a phony snob...

...but I hope to be a real one someday.

[Christof]

21. No, but I can be sometimes.

Most of the time, I don't like being arrogant. It just makes you look really bad and people won't want to talk to you.

I'm only arrogant around Republicans. I tend to show-off my intellect to them too much.

[Wapsie B]

22. I know I come across that way

with people I've just met. It takes awhile for me to let someone into my inner circle. I'm just and intensely private person. That can be misconstrued as arrogance. But I just don't go out of my way to fit into cliques.

[mondo joe]

23. I'm not arrogant. I'm smug.

It's a great flaw of mine, but at least I can take comfort in always being right.

[Ramsey]

24. I call it self-confident

But others have called it arrogance. Makes no never mind to me.

[Nikia]

25. I try not to be

Being arrogant just doesn't go over well in a rural Wisconsin food processing facility where the average wage is around $10/hour and there are more high school drop outs than college educated people. I was sort of arrogant when I got there. 'Redneck morons' I thought. I really try not to think of most of them this way and relate to them as equals.

[HEyHEY]

26. Sometimes yes, sometimes no

Depends.
I'm arrogant about certain things.

[BlueJazz]

27. I'm one of the warmest people anyone could meet except...

when it comes to Right/Wing Repugs and Popular Musicians.
I can then be quite Nasty. :)

[Jackpine Radical]

28. Peasant! What's it to you?
