What's the difference between arrogance and self-confidence? (1 Viewer)

[leftcoastguy7]

Suppose a new guy has started at your work. What kinds of things could this guy do/say to make you think he was arrogant? What kinds of things could this guy do/say to make you think he was self-confident?

There is a fine line between these two imo and some people could pick up the wrong impression.

 

[comfortably numb]

For a new person, this would be an example for me

Self confidence 

I can do that task

Arrogance

I can do that task better than xx

 

[dickey moe]

Self-confident: "I can get the job done."

Arrogant: "I can get the job done better than anybody else."

 

[avoiding injuries]

It's all in the way you project it. The same exact thing could be taken differently based on how it was presented. 

 

[Christo]

Self-confidence is internal. Arrogance is external.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Self-confidence is inclusive and collaborative. Arrogance is divisive and confrontational.

Arrogance

Self-confident: "I can get the job done."

Arrogant: "I can get the job done better than anybody else."

I don't think this is true. You can still say "I can do xxx better than anyone" and still not be arrogant. To me the difference is being humble. If you can be humble you aren't arrogant.

Self confidence: "what do you think we could do to make this better?"

Arrogance: "you know what you did wrong here?"

 

[Christo]

Self confidence: "what do you think we could do to make this better?"

Arrogance: "you know what you did wrong here?"

Huh?

 

[Christo]

Self-confidence is inclusive and collaborative. Arrogance is divisive and confrontational.

Self-confidence has nothing to do with being inclusive and collaborative. It's one's belief in one's ability.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Self-confidence has nothing to do with being inclusive and collaborative. It's one's belief in one's ability.

Thats arrogant.

 

[Christo]

Thats arrogant.

That's ignorant.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Huh?

I'm not arrogant enough to think I can singlehandedly fix everything at my workplace even if I am able. I'm confident in my ability to get the best out of my employees to achieve a common goal. 

 

[Nick Vermeil]

I don't think this is true. You can still say "I can do xxx better than anyone" and still not be arrogant. To me the difference is being humble. If you can be humble you aren't arrogant.

You can think it and know it but you can't say it without people thinking you are arrogant. 

 

[Christo]

I'm not arrogant enough to think I can singlehandedly fix everything at my workplace even if I am able. I'm confident in my ability to get the best out of my employees to achieve a common goal. 

Oh, corporate-speak. 

 

[TakiToki]

Self-confidence is faith in a fool.

Arrogance is a cologne.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Oh, corporate-speak. 

Maybe. It's true. 

Disclaimer: I do not work at a corporation.

I say it all the time, but when I'm proven wrong I can admit it. Being humble and self confident, not arrogant. If I was arrogant I would totally ignore that I was wrong.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

That's ignorant.

That's insouciant.

 

[Christo]

That's insouciant.

Arrogant is like walking up to Kate Upton and thinking she owes you a date.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Arrogant is like walking up to Kate Upton and thinking she owes you a date.

She doesn't?

 

[mr roboto]

Self awareness. 

 

[mr roboto]

Arrogant is like walking up to Kate Upton and thinking she owes you a date.

She's beneath most of us to be honest. 

 

[Christo]

She's beneath most of us to be honest. 

If only

 

[wikkidpissah]

Confidence is anaware, arrogance is unaware.

 

[mr roboto]

If only

I could see you being into her. 

 

[Christo]

I could see you being into her. 

Turns you on a little bit.

 

[brun]

Self confident is what you call yourself.

Arrogant i what other people call you.

 

[Vanilla Guerrilla]

I'm not arrogant enough to think I can singlehandedly fix everything at my workplace even if I am able. I'm confident in my ability to get the best out of my employees to achieve a common goal. 

Depends on the workplace.

 

[peaces]

Self confident is what you call yourself.

Arrogant i what other people call you.

This is what I was gonna say... Only better.

 

[-OZ-]

She's beneath most of us to be honest. 

At the same time? Giggity

To paraphrase, it's not arrogance if you can back it up.

 

[-OZ-]

Honestly, arrogance is refusing to learn along the way. Thinking you're complete already.

Self confidence is doing and learning. Knowing that you're pretty good at what you do and want to improve. 

Peyton Manning was confident. Ryan leaf was arrogant.
