Arrogance

Arrogance is an attitude where a person overestimates their abilities, importance, or value, often accompanied by a lack of regard for others’ perspectives. It can manifest as boastfulness, dismissiveness, or a sense of superiority. While confidence is healthy, arrogance crosses into overconfidence that may alienate others and hinder genuine relationships. Recognizing arrogance involves understanding when someone’s self-assessment is disproportionate and dismissive of others’ contributions or feelings. It often results from insecurity or a need to prove oneself, but it generally undermines trust and collaboration.
