You told the truth, but were blunt, and proud of the bluntness. And it cut off any other conversation.
If it doesn't really bother you, change nothing.
The down-side of being arrogant, is that folks ignore you (unless you're in a position of power over them - then they just hate you).
If you want to see what life is like on the other side of the arrogant fence, try these 2 things:
-ask questions instead of making statements. Pretend to listen for the answer - and ask a follow-up question.
-every time you feel the word "I" coming out of your mouth, choke it back, and find someother way to say what you were going to say. Example: "I hate oranges!" becomes: "Oranges are kind of messy aren't they; how do you keep the juice from running down your arm?".
Try it for a week, and see if things are different.
