Are u confident or arrogant???

Difference between confidence and arrogance

Hello readers, in this blog, I am sharing about the difference between confidence and arrogance, which most people seem to get confused about while judging someone. I will also be giving few ideas about how a person can be confident without being arrogant.

Confidence is a powerful trait. It is the faith that one will act in a right, proper and effective way. It is a feeling of self-assurance arising from an appreciation of one’s own abilities. Confident people are like magnets, they tend to capture the attention, trust and respect of those around them. They believe in themselves, so they take the risks and reap the rewards. Confidence can make you successful!!!

On the other hand, arrogance is the attitude of displaying a sense of overbearing self-importance. An arrogant person has a high opinion on one’s own importance and ability. They also have a strong feeling of superiority over others.

Confidence and arrogance can be marked. In fact they can be marked well, but only by those people who knows the difference. Here are few traits which helps me to distinguish these two kind of personality.

·     A confident person understands other maybe stronger and that every individual is a complete package of strengths and weakness, so they remain humble. But an arrogant person will often neglect to acknowledge his weakness, all they want to do is boast a high opinion about themselves preferring to be a hero.

·    An arrogant person may seem to ignore any areas of weakness and only play up areas of strength, which they often do due to the inability to cope up with their weakness. While a confident person finds root of their confidence in self-acceptance which enables them to handle their flaws with grace.

·      Body language also distinguish between these two personalities. An arrogant person is usually found with swaggering walk and posture that is over commanding and dominating. They are usually aggressive and harder to approach. While, a confident person can adopt open and easy posture that allows others to approach the easily.
   

      If u feel you want to gain the self-confidence without being arrogant, some tips can help you:

•         Be approachable: Having confidence does not do you good if you become unfriendly because of it.
•     Be wrong: Being clear about what you know and what you don’t know is usually appreciated by other giving you confidence to face the truth and encouraging to learn and share more.
•         Be forthcoming: Instead of piling up with your knowledge in your brain, learn to share  it.

 Lets be confident, not arrogant, and trust me, confident people seem more pleasing and beautiful !!!
