Difference between 'confidence' and 'arrogance'


                      


Humans have different nature and personality. There are different characteristics of the nature that people have. Both arrogance and confidence are the aspects of the human nature. Arrogance is a negative personality trait which projects self-centeredness, offensive display of superiority and thoughts, negative sense of pride. Arrogance is never accepted positively in the society by people. Arrogance makes people dominating in nature, and make them believe that people other than themselves, are not worthy of judging or correcting them. These kinds of people are never ready to accept their weakness, bad qualities habits, defeat, instead will only display their strength falsely. They also can only acknowledge others weaknesses but will not acknowledge others strength. They can turn any conversation into an offensive argument without caring about others opinions, thoughts or views.

Confidence is one the aspect of human nature, which comes when people have a positive belief in themselves. It projects knowing oneself, having faith in their abilities, capabilities and their nature, a positive attitude, facing the world and expressing their thoughts, presence and status in the society, without any fear or hesitation as they. Apart from making people believe in both their positive and negative sides of their nature, confidence makes people accept others strength and weakness. They accept all kinds of judgement and opinions made on them.

These two characteristics are different between these two human characteristics. For e.g.  Two people among which one is a confident person and the other is an arrogant person are in a multinational company for an interview for the post of a manager. A confident person will present his skills but also his flaws, he will also project his tolerance, calmness, positive body language, optimistic attitude, acceptance of both positive and negative remark and opinions, but will ultimately make the interviews believe that he is worth it, by making it evident for the interview to believe him, whereas the arrogant person will not be able to agree to the negative questions asked to him. He will try to prove his point by bluffing or stubbornness  this person may not even care whatever the circumstances will be. He will argue in case if he does not agree with the opinions of the interviewers.

Confidence helps us win in any kind of difficult situations, establish and maintain healthy public relations, make us satisfied and help us live a successful life, whereas arrogance makes us lose our positiveness, make us and odd one in the crowd, and a bad example. Thus we should develop our confidence in order to make way to success and we should avoid arrogance, as it creates negativity in us and makes us selfish, and unsuccessful.
