Ever came across people who answer and talk beginning with the word 'So!' or 'So?'? This is one of the characteristic of the arrogant people. The way they look at you, the way they talk could get you on your nerve. Sometimes, they are super sweet because they needed your help. And once they get it, they are back to their old and arrogant way. And mind you, they do have terrible mood swing.
We may want to smack them, criticize them, call them names or talk in disrespectful ways about them. We may want to break their arrogance and tell them how you really think. But sadly, people rarely tell them off or not give any clues about what we think.
The thing is, arrogant people feel inferior and insecure. They are self-conscious and want to be “special”. They cover their flaws by trying to appear perfect so they will not be criticized.
They tend to be defensive and they don’t hear what we say. They respond based on their own pre-conceived notions rather than on the actual situation. They may make statements that seem to be full of confidence even when they are completely wrong. (Very familiar?)
Some people say the way to handle arrogant people is never put them down by criticising them openly, instead, compliment them in a gentle and sincere way. But I think it work both way, nobody should openly criticise or judge anyone in anyway as well.
