Arrogance

[Duke John]

Strange that all the explanations are about (thinking) being right. According to a few online dictionaries (and my understanding), it has more to with "proceeding from undue claims or self-importance". Most of the time you can pick out the arrogant people without listening to one word they are saying. It is not about being right, that is in their eyes only a logical consequence of being so important

[Husar]

It's good to actually be right and important like me, because it means I can't be arrogant.

[Andres]

arrogance = a superiority complex. Somebody who is arrogant is somebody who thinks he is better and more important then others and who shows this in his attitude. Most arrogant people don't realise that they are being arrogant.

Too much pride to acknowledge the fact that your wrong. Pretty much the best way to loose your friends real quick.

You're a teenager, which means you're probably arrogant. Don't worry to much about it.

You're young, so you probably believe you can take on the world (especially since you're also rich), a lot of people, certainly adults might think you are arrogant since you want to achieve things they never have (or have already achieved, jealousy is a *****). This is not your fault, don't give up your dreams too soon.

You're young, you probably have moral principles you still believe in strongly. Other people might feel that you think you're better than them because you stick to your principles. It actually happens that other people do something they know is wrong, and you don't participate (even without actually judging them),a dn they'll think you're arrogant.

Claims of arrogance often go hand in hand with jealousy. Just remember that you are not actually better than most people. That you certainly don't deserve better than anyone else (for whatever reason). And that pretty much everyone just tries to make the best out of life, so don't be to quick to judge.

I am above it

Very good points mentioned already...I would like to add: Arrogance is often used by people as a mask to hide their real feel/personlity. Dunno, just the impression I have. Sometimes shy persons use it, me thinks, kinda like as a buffer against the world.... .

Excuses, you should tell a teenager to behave like me for example, not that he can go on with his arrogance. Yes, he is young and that's the best time to learn about humility and that listening to old Husar is important.
Young people who think they can do what they want are in no way okay or right or anything like that, they can make others feel pretty bad or, like has been said by others who are almost as good as I am, they can lose their friends, so saying that they're young and it's okay is wrong and just shows you haven't reached an acceptable level of wisdom, doc_bean.

Well, usually, I feel teenagers should just shut the **** up. They are indeed arrogant and inexperienced, but as long as they don't bother me personally, I support them

I find that the claims of arrogance come from stupidity and immaturity, like what happened to me last night. In the school, we have a committee, which is a group of 10 guys who are doing different activities for the rest of the school. Lots of people want to get into it, so last night, I just went into a room near me, and started talking to the guys about the election and stuff. And I just said it point blank that I didn't vote for the guy (he was in the room, it was his room shared with other 2 guys). The rest were like what the heck man, I think it's time you leave this room. I left, and later on the guy who candidated told me - man, dont be so arrogant, especially with those guys...

I've had problems with 2 of my teachers, one of them being the class teacher. He called me arrogant because I didn't want to listen; the problem was with the Romanian professor. At that time we didn't have, so I continued insisting that we didn't have and he kept telling me to go to the Languages director, to sort it out.

The claims relating to my arrogance are mostly based on my cynic and sarcastic character over other people.

And this doesn't relate to social class; tbh it has nothing to do with it, especially away from home.

How arrogant...

It's hard for me to judge from what you described, but the sentence above and the one I will quote now:

The claims relating to my arrogance are mostly based on my cynic and sarcastic character over other people.

lead me to believe that you may indeed come across as arrogant, whether you are or not. First off you say you're cynic and sarcastic over other people. Either that implies you think you're above them or we have a misunderstanding, it would fit with the quote above though which implies that you think those who say you're arrogant are stupid and immature, I can't judge them as I don't know them but maybe they aren't and you're just being arrogant.

And even if all that doesn't apply when you're cynic and sarcastic towards other people you might make the impression that you don't take them seriously, know everything better and deem yourself superior, whether you actually think that or not, they may think you're arrogant.

Think about it, reflect on yourself and don't always look for faults on others first.

Errr..well cynism and sarcasm are actually arrogant forms of humor, since they're about making fun of other people and putting you above them.

Sarcasm seems so awesome when you're a teenager, but after a while you realize how dumb and overused it tends to be. Cynism is also hardly anything to be proud of when you're young (or old for that matter). It implies a rather closed outlook on live.

Maybe you should look at yourself for the answer as to why you are perceived as arrogant. But like I said, the love of sarcasm is nothing strange for a teenager. And most of you are arrogant anyway.
