Why do you feel that a person is being arrogant? Have they been condescending to you or have they never spoken to you? If there has not been an incident that showed you this person feels superior to you, don't assume he or she is arrogant too quickly. You might wrong him or her. If you feel that your interests and needs are not being respected at all, this can be a sign of dealing with an arrogant person, especially where he or she insists that his or her way is the only way. Is it always about them? Do they get mad or irritated if the center of attention moves to someone else? Boasting, dismissing others, and behaving as if they know everything is a sure sign of an arrogant type. Interrupting conversations or breaking off abruptly are other signs of arrogance when talking.  Look for the person constantly saying that they are better than you and other people. It may be subtle or overt but you'll certainly know of it. Consider how dismissive the person is towards you and your ideas or thoughts. Dismissive attitudes signal a belief in being better than others. Does this person put down the things you care about, especially in public? Does this person sound and/or act plain bossy? Listen for a tone of voice that indicates bossiness and a dismissive attitude. Does this person even notice when you are bored with the conversation? Arrogant people never notice this! Arrogant people rarely include others in decision-making because they're certain that they're right and already have the answers. Of even less concern is whether or not the decision impacts you. Does this person try to hang around with, work with, or conspire with people of high status? This is because the arrogant person believes he or she is only worthy of those with high status. Through seeking to dominate and control, they feel in control, a reflection of their big fear of being dominated and controlled. The arrogant person finds it hard to admit being wrong and no matter how preposterous, will often cling to a belief that he or she knows things even when the knowledge is outdated or fails to take into account broader perspectives. Sadly, many arrogant people actually have less life experience than their pretense; it's all a big cover up embellished by imagination and envy.  Being a snob is a classic sign of arrogance. Pretending or even actually knowing as much as possible about something thought to be exclusive gives the arrogant person the upper hand and he or she isn't afraid to show off. It is very difficult for an arrogant person to understand complexity. He or she is much happier with predictable, black and white situations and tends to see all of life with such a view. This can cause the arrogant person to assume a lot and know very little. Anxiety can bring about a sense of arrogance without a real intention to treat you as inferior. In this case, the anxious person is simply overwhelmed by seeming inadequate in a conversation and tries too hard to be clever. This can end up sounding superior and, if coupled with dominating the conversation, can seem arrogant. Be careful to look more deeply before you judge the person's motivation. An anxious person will be interested in your responsiveness, while an arrogant one couldn't care less and won't ever apologize for talking too much.
قيم الموقف. أنصت لمحادثاته. فكر فيما إن كنت جزءًا من اتخاذ القرارات مع ذلك الشخص. اعلم أن المتكبرين يفتقدون للثقة في كثير من الأحيان.
