HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE ARROGANT

An article I came across today when I was browsing on MSN. It popped up so I read on, and came to mind to share it here. Pls. note that readers who come across my site, this is my property, pls. be reminded that I am the author of this blog of mine. Readers are welcome to give comments about my posts, if ever you don't like it, but say it in a nice way to avoid misunderstanding. Do analyse it before you jump to conclusion, because like this post of mine, this is in general. There are 6 reasons to know if that person is arrogant, or you, yourself is arrogant,. I do like this topic, coz it helps me to understand about myself too, if I am an arrogant person. Do read on.....!

People who are arrogant usually believe they are better than others. You can take it as a sign of insecurity. They speak out of turn, their problems are worse than your's. They have a need for attention. They need to brag, show off. You can be arrogant and not even realize it or know it. it can put people off. Arrogant people are usualy doing a lot of talking and not a lot of doing. Here are a few tips on how to recognize the signs of someone who is arrogant.

1.Do you interrupt others when they are speaking? Most people who display arrogance monopolize conversations because they just aren't interested in what others have to say. They need to speak to hear themselves because what they need to say is a lot more significant and important than what you need to say.
2.Do you show off business cards and brag about how much you spend on shoes or a dress or shirt or suit? Do you pull out your wallet and handle your money and count it in front of people so others can see?
3. When others are speaking do you wait until they are finished or do you interrupt them and begin talking as if they did not exist?
4.
Do they constantly talk about their problems? They always have some urgency that needs immediate assistance. They speak for the sense of sensationalism and are always playing the victim.
5. Do you always compare every situation with something you experienced? Does every circumstance someone went through have to be measured to what you have been through? This is the old my fish is bigger than your fish and it's tired and it's pathetic. It is also obvious that people like this need attention and need to have a spot light on them while they take the floor.
6. Arrogant people will often put others down, judging and criticizing them. They may joke about them make fun of them, bash them put them down.

After reading the whole topic, I understood completely, what an arrogant people mean? It's good to know some hints about some things that we don't really know yet. Isn't it? Human being are born into a different attitude and behavior. Psychologists concluded that most character and behavior are inherited by genes. Like a saying that goes " Birds that have the same feathers, flock together" I don't know if you believe this saying"
I am reading this article again and again, I am so concern that I might have an arrogant attitude, that's really a shame!

Tips and Warnings:
1. Remember you can be confident without being arrogant.
2. Arrogance is a sign of insecurity
3. If you think you may display some of all of these signs of arrogance, you may want to re-access how you treat people.
