Arrogance and being self confident

Moving to a new region I never experienced in my life made me think about this, what is the thin line between being arrogant and self confident. My opinion on this is highly debatable, my views are based on the race and culture of people I had a chance to interact with and in many cases was able to build a healthy a relation. So not getting into the regional diplomacy and ethics I developed, I started to feel that we are in cross road where people believe self confidence is almost equal to be arrogant

Becoming an arrogant person is based on various foundations, like the status, the money, education, good looks and the list goes on. So whatever the base reason that becomes the assumed superiority of thinking I am better than you, the arrogant person will enrich his list of admirers and enemies. Being arrogant, in most cases the person feel insecure about their current status and want to make sure the same will continue, most arrogant people are not cruel, they are afraid of losing the power they have and this thinking make them behave in a particular pattern. So my view of being arrogant is because the person is very insecure about the status or position he holds. It is about chasing others to make sure the as -is will hold true for ever.

Self confident I believe is a different breed of people they believe in themselves and what they do. They believe they are in control of their life and accept responsibility for the actions. Most self confident people will be flexible and ready to listen to the view of others, they are not challenged by others and wont believe that those around will steal whatever they have. Self confident person will go assertive than being aggressive and wont hide anything about their life, because they believe themselves. Self confident will accept the changes as normal part of life and will say “why not” for any given opportunity than asking “WHY?” They tend to negotiate rather than argue or fight, so precisely those who are self confident won’t be those who rise voice and argue to get their point put forward, rather they listen and get into the conclusion.

Here you see the reason why I started feeling that we are equating arrogance to self
confidence, those around with an arrogant behavior and push things around are considered the most preferred and capable, this is the tragedy competition brings to us, where people feel insecure rather than self confident where we end up waiting for the enemy to destroy our kingdom, and live a horrible life where you don’t do anything meaningful or what you enjoy in life. Knowledge make you humble is growing in my mind.
