How To Be Confident Without Looking Like An Arrogant Jerk
Many people worry that if they appear confident, people will think they are
an arrogant jerk. I’m here to tell you, there are major differences between
confidence and arrogance. You can be confident and still be a caring,
compassionate person.This is how you tell the difference:
Arrogance is…
*An attitude of superiority*Overbearing
*Presumptuous
*Exaggeration of importance
*Showing off
Confidence is…
*Being conscious of your own power*A faith or belief that you will be effective
*A state of being certain in your ability
*Being self-reliant
*Feeling good about who you are
Notice that confidence is about how you feel about yourself. It has nothing to do with other people. It has nothing to do with needing to prove something. It is an inner knowing and level of comfort with yourself.
Arrogance is all about other people and proving something to them. It’s about making yourself bigger and others smaller. It is competition at it’s worst.
A confident person can be sure of themselves and still be warm, open and compassionate. Which are you?
