Remember the famous work “The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs”, in which one of the heroines turns to the mirror: “My light is a mirror, tell me, tell me the whole truth: am I sweeter in the world, all blush and whiter?” In fact, it is not the heroine herself who asks this, but her arrogance. What happened after the answer that there is a more beautiful person? Anger, irritation, the wrath of the queen and a broken mirror. Quite a typical reaction of an arrogant person to criticism from the outside, an alternative opinion and doubts about his uniqueness and superiority.

Arrogance - conviction in one's own superiority, disdain for other people (lower in status, merit or position in the subjective understanding of the individual). An arrogant person neglects the needs and interests of other people, does not respect anyone but the personalities of the same circle (the elite) or no one at all except himself (with a pronounced God complex).

An arrogant person "highly measures" himself and other people. Only if he himself fits this bar, then those around him, as a rule, do not. We can talk about the subjective understanding of wealth, happiness, success, love, status. “I can do everything, and everyone owes me, because I am the best,” is the motto of arrogant personalities.

Arrogance is a variant of manifestation, although more often these concepts are identified. Pride (arrogance) is a mortal sin in the perception of believers and an unbearable personality trait in the understanding of atheists. The main difference between pride and arrogance is that pride does not need an environment, arrogance requires approval against the background of someone or worship from someone, that is, there is dependence on other people.

Interestingly, successful, rich or wealthy people do not always suffer from arrogance. For example, a person who is convinced that success in life is achieved with the help of connections, talents and fate, who writes off his failure as "unfate", can be arrogant and arrogant towards those who have achieved this success. But you and I know that a person is the master of his own destiny, just some do not know this or do not want to know. So they say arrogantly to more successful and established personalities: “Teach me here again. It's easy for you to speak. I also found a sage."

Signs of arrogance

Arrogance can be suspected by the following signs:

• neglect of other people and them;
• conviction in one's own superiority and rightness;
• having your own opinion on every question and defending your opinion (against the feelings and desires of other people);
• overpriced;
• people;
• demonstration of their benefits, merits, achievements;
• demanding of others and ignoring their duties;
• indifference, absence and compassion.

An arrogant person never admits his mistakes and does not ask for forgiveness. Even if he realizes (rarely) that he was wrong, he will not apologize. Apologies and acknowledgment of mistakes below it.

Arrogance is written on the face, reflected in the look and gait. As a rule, it is evidenced by a raised eyebrow, squinted eyes, a smirk or both lips slightly protruding forward with a raised chin, a sideways look or a “top-down” look. The gait is imposing, the shoulders are straightened, the back is straight, they will never give way on the way.

Origins of arrogance

In a broad sense, two reasons for the development of arrogance can be noted, moreover, these are completely different areas among themselves: hypercompensation for shortcomings () and conceit against the background of real successes. Thus, the reasons for arrogance are:

• and low self-esteem, (hypercompensation);
• inflated self-esteem and inflated self-esteem (including against the background of real achievements);
• selfishness and egocentrism;
• the cultivation of certain values ​​​​in the family, the example of parents, that is, hereditary arrogance (for example, the upbringing of arrogance from childhood on the basis of social status);
• "family idol";
• flattery and servility (in relation to an arrogant person).

An arrogant person considers his point of view and his way of life to be the only correct one. Everything else he humiliates and ridicules, does not want and cannot understand and accept. More often, arrogance is based on material wealth or status, position, much less often - human qualities.

As a defense mechanism, arrogance appears when an individual is lower than other people. So that his weaknesses are not noticed and not taken advantage of, he attacks first (the best defense is an attack). Sometimes behind the mask of arrogance, or embarrassment of a person is hidden,.

Arrogance under the guise of a victim

Sometimes arrogance takes a seemingly very unusual and unrealistic form - sacrifice. Yes, sometimes the game of "Mother Teresa" is nothing more than a belief in one's own superiority. Such people try to reason with everyone, call for morality, set the right path, advise (when they are not asked about it), express their opinion. And all why? Because they themselves always know everything better than anyone.

Only the result is the same: when ignoring their advice, manipulation (more often with the help), because they were not appreciated (insulted). So, an arrogant person under the mask of virtue cannot stand criticism and disagreement with his opinion, denial of help or advice. He imposes himself and tries to teach other people to live according to his canons. This is a hidden and more loyal form of arrogance, but no less destructive. Her motto is: "Stupid, he does not understand what he is doing." In fact, this is the same ignoring the interests and needs of other people with the erection of a cult of one's opinion, denying the likelihood of one's own mistakes.

Arrogance: good or bad

Let's "dig" deeper into the problem of arrogance: a person regularly proves to other people his importance and superiority, talks about it and tries to keep his mark. Accordingly, someone else's opinion is important to him, which means that he is vulnerable and unhappy: he cannot relax, he can't bear failures, he can't stand criticism. Most often, arrogant people deal with this with denial (not noticing other people and criticism), but if the mechanism fails, the risk increases and ("I'm the best, how could this happen"). An arrogant person lives in a torn reality, his own world. This is not good for socialization and.

Arrogance is a trait of an immature personality, so it is a bad quality that needs to be eliminated. An adult person knows that there is no limit to development. In addition, in any business there is someone more successful and someone less successful, and even more so, you cannot be the best person in everything. And since you can’t be the best in everything, then you shouldn’t turn up your nose.

Our society functions through the fact that unique individuals complement each other, the more successful teach the less successful people, and not ridicule. Imagine such an example: every teacher, having unlearned and becoming such, begins to ridicule children and adults, call them ignoramuses instead of teaching. Or doctors refuse to treat people of average and low income, despising their standard of living. How long will such a society last? No.

Arrogance strikes enmity, wars, discrimination, . On a personal level, arrogance can reach extreme forms and cause harm to health and life, for example, proving to everyone that “he is not like everyone else, he is higher and more unique”, a person can work hard, refuse sleep, forbid himself to express emotions and feelings, etc. Pride is a necessary and useful feeling, pride and arrogance are destructive personality traits.

What to do

So, how to get rid of arrogance:

• Make a list of motives or single out one but persistent motive that will allow you to get rid of arrogance. Always remind yourself of this goal in the future. Without desire and motivation, you should not waste time on other tips.
• Force yourself to communicate with people, to learn and learn to understand someone else's point of view.
• Ask yourself if you are that good. Write down as many different areas of work as possible, answer honestly whether you can successfully do at least something in each of them. For example, can you write a song, paint a picture, design an airplane, fix a tooth, build a house? I'm sure not. So it turns out that you are not the only and the best person in the world?
• Perhaps you are the best in the business. It could very well be, and that's great. But are you sure that right now a new, stronger and younger specialist is not aiming for your place? No one is irreplaceable, no doubt. In the modern world, a replacement is quickly found, you need to keep up with the times, constantly improve yourself. Two aspects are important for this: criticality (reflection) and activity. Accordingly, you cannot become the best and stop, you need to constantly become the best version of yourself.
• Learn to admit your mistakes. Pay attention to criticism and discuss the issue with your opponent. Force yourself to confess and apologize.
• Stop focusing on your person, pay attention to other people, their problems and interests. To do this, you will have to communicate with those who are “lower”. Who it is for you - decide for yourself. But remember that at the moment of communication reproaches and neglect are not allowed. You should listen and try to understand the other person, to see in him similar traits and unique features to you.
• Ask your friends to tell you about your strengths and weaknesses. Accept this portrait, make a correction plan. All people have weaknesses and shortcomings, learn how to deal with them.
• Make a map of your life path and available benefits. At each stage, add the people you meet along the way and have played a positive role in your development. Also write down the people who brought negativity: this negative experience made you just like that, successful and strong. Are you satisfied with yourself at the moment? If so, then all the connections on the path of life were not in vain. All these people have influenced you. Say thank you to them and stop towering over.
• Play chess and checkers, board games, etc. Losing teaches us humility, which means we get rid of arrogance.
• Allow yourself to learn from others and share what you know. A frequent companion of arrogance -. Force yourself to do it, because there is no magic pill, there is motivation to get rid of arrogance.
• Learn to be polite. Force yourself to say "thank you", "please", "I'm sorry" and give compliments. In addition, each day write down five gratitudes addressed to someone from the environment, life, weather or day, to yourself (do not get carried away and do not go into devaluing yourself).
• Praise, don't criticize. Arrogance sits deep, it's a way of thinking. You can change it only by starting to respect and recognize the dignity of other people. Practice every day in finding the good in people and analyzing their success. You can consider someone from the environment or take random characters from books and films. As with kind words and compliments, praise (express your satisfaction) directly to the person's face.
• Don't expect quick results. In each case, it will take its own period of time to get rid of arrogance, it all depends on the desire and efforts. Each time it will be easier to say “you are great”, “thank you”, “you did so well, teach me too”, “I understand you, but you understand me too”, “let's think about what kind of compromise there can be” . One day you will not be able to act and think differently.

Adequate self-confidence, adequate self-esteem, healthy selfishness and pride are necessary and useful properties that need to be preserved. What is the main difference between a self-confident person and an arrogant one (often these qualities are confused)? A self-confident person always keeps promises, is responsible for his words and actions, admits mistakes, lives for the benefit of himself and other people (responsiveness, goodwill, help, social and labor activity). An arrogant person is strong in words, avoids responsibility and fulfilling promises, offends and humiliates others, does not admit his mistakes.

Afterword

Arrogance can be a manifestation of "star disease", which is more often infected after real achievements and victories or against the backdrop of outstanding ones. However, behind this it is forgotten that each person is unique, each is capable of becoming a talented musician, actor, athlete or rich man. In addition, it is important to remember and understand how many people contributed to the success of one person. For example, is it only the actor who has made a career for himself? Or did those who taught him at school, circles and university, supported and helped, in the end, love and appreciate his work, also participated in this?

In society, all people interact from birth. The electricity in the house is the result of the work of many ordinary workers, and some arrogant person uses it and says how he despises these hard workers. You can not love or respect specific people for specific actions, but you cannot exalt yourself above all of humanity.

“I realized that one person has the right to look down on another only when he helps him up.” - Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Colombian writer, journalist and politician.

recently happened to talk a little about the difference in the concepts of "use" and "use"
words of my interlocutor:

I really didn’t separate “use and use” ... for the first time I thought about it. And it turns out that to use is to emasculate, to waste someone else's resource without their own return, without their own investment, that is, to create an imbalance?

"and yet, maybe someday, if someone else needs it besides me, you could write something wise about arrogance and contempt, what kind of animals are they, where do they come from and how to deal with them ... but if this is out of interest, then it is not necessary, of course. "

Because the topic of arrogance has surfaced again today - I bring it up for discussion.
I hope you can guess why I don't answer myself!

Pay attention to how the request is worded?
"wouldn't the esteemed genie be so kind nnnnnnnnnnnnn?.."

What is a request?
I NEED - and then I, like an obedient Mirror, immediately answer, receive and sign!
and here it is - nuuu ... kakbe ... if you yourself also need it .... it would be great .... in your free time ...
It is useless to contact me personally! you are in the second personal, LJ were?!
Wow...
Everything in my interests - this is all relaxing nonsense.
Total:
- if you need something to look like the request should be like this
I NEED - reality, SHOW ( answer, provide, etc.)
- Let's talk about arrogance and contempt:

1. what is it, in your opinion?


2. where do they come from?


3. how to deal with them:
   a) if faced outside b) if clearly visible inside

And for starters, perhaps, it is worth turning to dictionaries. Well, to have some common reference point!

Arrogance- these are excessive demands and an arrogant attitude towards others.

Arrogance is an attempt to measure the merits and demerits of oneself and others, to unambiguously evaluate a person, a group of people or a business. Sometimes at the same time they exalt themselves and humiliate others, sometimes - on the contrary. It is easy to see that both are not only ineffective, but also lead to problems.

It would be more accurate to clearly identify the bad in the character, behavior or deeds of people and help eliminate it, and vice versa, find the good and help it open up.

The Ethics Dictionary offers the following definition:
arrogance- this is a negative moral quality that characterizes a disrespectful, contemptuous, arrogant attitude towards other people (to certain individuals, certain social strata), associated with an exaggeration of one's own merits and selfishness.

trampoline, Recently I read a post somewhere about an endless groundhog day and a certain boredom of life that took possession of a person ... And I remembered a girl who at the age of 20 (!) Wept that she had nothing to do. What a boring life for her. Not really friends, my brother got married, and she was left alone with her parents - and kapets, no one amuses her poor woman. There are no clowns around. How I despised her! Arrogant and with all his might.
I allowed it, of course, but to this day - I see mental laziness, and no sympathy, only horror and mental dilution of people into castes.
- And again recently,
from one site where I wanted to place a useful link, and at the same time from another program, which, it would seem, should grasp the very idea with its hands and feet - refusals came. And according to my feelings, people did not even bother to get a grasp, to penetrate! One thing is proclaimed, such as "helping people", awakening, growth, etc. but in fact, one arrogance ...
- And again recently,
A 3-year-old child comes out of his father's car after his day off and says to his mother: fuck! And then for another whole day “mom - kaka, mom - kaka” composts brains. Mom feels the already habitual contempt for many adults.
- Well, again, my requests are arrogantly and defiantly rejected or their execution is simply delayed in time, which leads to the same idea that I myself am arrogant and there is something extra in my head.

What is arrogance and what are its characteristics? Where does arrogant behavior come from in a person, what are the reasons for arrogance? What are the risks of arrogant people? What behavior is often mistaken for being arrogant? If you are interested in the answers to all these questions, read on.

This is confidence in one's superiority, a dismissive attitude towards others. (Explanatory Dictionary of Efremova)

Arrogance is pride, arrogance, arrogance, contempt for others, lower in mind and position. (Explanatory Dictionary of Ushakov)

These definitions do not fully reveal the essence of arrogance, therefore it is better to consider in detail the characteristic features inherent in the behavior of an arrogant person.

Signs of arrogance

An arrogant person puts himself above all. He is arrogant, proud, selfish, overly proud.

You perceive communication with people not of your own circle, an arrogant person as a heavy duty that offends his dignity.

Arrogance manifests itself in indifference to the opinion of others.

A sign of arrogance is disrespect for people, ridiculing them.

Arrogant people have their own opinion on everything, which they fearlessly express. And in general, it's good, but that's just sometimes defending your point of view, they do not take into account the feelings and emotions of the people around them.

An arrogant person will never go back on his word. And if you point out to him that his words are far from the truth, and demand that he refuse them, it will seem ridiculous to him.

Such people rarely apologize, even if they are not one hundred percent right, they believe that this is below their dignity.

Signs of arrogance are readable in facial expressions that demonstrate contempt, neglect, indifference, lack of compassion.

Where does arrogance come from

In ancient Greece, they said that "arrogance gives birth to luck." The Greeks meant that a person becomes arrogant, by the will of blind fortune, by accident rising up and getting rich. But this is not always the case, sometimes the cause of arrogance is also shortcomings, such as poverty or some other shortcoming. A poor person, feeling the inferiority of his position, tries to overcome this shortcoming with the help of arrogance, and even can show it to the rich. For example, a poor person who hears a truthful remark from a rich man thinks: “You are rich, and besides, you want to teach me more? You're wrong!". That is, arrogance in this case is manifested in the denial of truth, the truth.

It turns out that trying to hide his shortcomings, his inferiority, a person puts on a mask of arrogance, which, according to the majority, is more inherent in people with certain virtues (handsome, strong, smart, rich, etc.) than with flaws.

Sometimes arrogance manifests itself when a person receives some knowledge, he thinks he is the smartest (for example, he shows his red diploma of higher education at every opportunity), thinks that he knows everything, and you can’t argue with him anymore. He begins to look down on those around him and think of them as ignorant.

Arrogance can also be the cause of a person's high skill. For example, outstanding athletes, actors, singers, artists, etc. often suffer from star fever (also arrogance and pride). They think that their outstanding abilities give them the right to treat ordinary people with disdain.

People themselves often cultivate arrogance in those whom fate has lifted up. They begin to flatter, fawn over and please such people, which is why they begin to think that they are actually superior to the rest. As a result, they swell like a soap bubble, and their arrogance and arrogance reach enormous proportions, often exceeding the size of their position or position. As Nicolas Chamfort, a French thinker and moralist, wrote, “ Sometimes it is enough not to come to terms with arrogance and swagger in order to turn them into nothing. Sometimes it is enough not to notice them for them to become harmless.»

Likewise, arrogance is nurtured (one might say inherited) by wrong upbringing. Parents by their example, their behavior show how to communicate with people. Children absorb, for them parents are an example to follow. And if a father or mother behaves arrogantly towards others, then surely their child will grow up the same way.

What is dangerous and harmful arrogant behavior

Many believe that arrogant people are not only uninteresting, but disgusting to communicate with! An arrogant person is unpleasant to others, he has few friends, work colleagues avoid him, often does not stick in his personal life (partners run away). And this is understandable, will anyone really like it when they perceive it as a primitive substance, unless someone agrees to be recorded in the “gray mass”, and only because someone imagines himself to be a god.

Arrogance creates an obstacle to friendly communication, it can cross out any, absolutely any dignity.

arrogant man, trying to convince himself that he is the best, the most worthy, and should always be at the very top, falls into a trap. Firstly, he cannot afford to relax, so as not to drop the brand, everywhere and everywhere he must show his importance and significance. After all, the more a person loves himself, the more he depends on the opinions of others. Secondly, life is a fair thing and punishes arrogant people by trampling them into the mud. Thirdly, the proud and imagined painfully endures failures, losses and falls - “ How could this happen to me? - after all, he must always be at the very top, for him defeat is always a tragedy.

Arrogance can negatively affect a person's financial situation. Here is a quote from a book by a famous investor and entrepreneur Roberta Kiyosaki - « What I know is that I make money. Due to the fact that I do not know something, I lose money. Every time I'm arrogant, I lose my money. When I'm arrogant, I sincerely believe that what I don't know is not particularly important.«.

What behavior is not arrogant

People often confuse it with self-confidence 7 tips for gaining self-confidence), but the desire to believe in yourself, in your strength, does not at all indicate arrogance. Confidence gets along well with modesty, unlike arrogance, self-confidence is friendly to others, arrogance is always offensive. A self-confident person is always responsible for his words and deeds, unlike an arrogant person, he easily admits his mistakes.

We sometimes see arrogance where there is none. And this happens for a variety of reasons: out of shyness, out of embarrassment, or considering yourself unworthy of someone. It happens that a person, wounded by inattention to his person, takes another person for an arrogant person when he is simply passionate or busy with something, and therefore does not notice him.

Do not be arrogant and do not attribute this quality to people for nothing!

In the following article, you will learn - How to get rid of arrogance

Arrogance is a quality with which a person tries to protect his personality from various undesirable unacceptable manifestations. It contributes to the fact that an arrogant person feels more of his own importance. But this is not very pleasant to others - and the feeling of rejection in this case is quite fair, because no one wants to feel worse than another. Is the word "arrogance" synonymous with pride? And what is the full meaning of this word?

Synonymous with pride, analogue of consumerism

Psychologists believe that arrogance is always associated with consumption. An arrogant person is one who expects constant praise, special treatment, and recognition from others. The credo of a person in communication is "we are for each other." The motto of an arrogant person may correspond to the following words: "you are for me." A vain person always wants to feel in a leadership position. These people differ from the rest in that they tend to constantly teach and instruct others, as well as make comments. People of this sort, without a twinge of conscience, make choices for others, because they consider themselves experts in all areas of life. However, psychologically, arrogance is a defensive reaction carefully built over the course of life.

An arrogant person is one who, through such behavior, tries to protect himself from a sense of his own worthlessness. He consciously chooses a type of behavior that helps to make his existence more comfortable. With the help of arrogance, it is easier for a person to control the world around him. Since arrogance stands guard over a sense of self-worth, this type of psychological protection is greatly needed by people who have experienced serious humiliation or shame.

Treatment for arrogance

Thus, it turns out that an arrogant person is not the one for whom he tries to impersonate others. At the same time, people of this kind are much more likely to cause contempt towards themselves on the part of others. With their sense of arrogance, they constantly hurt the pride and self-esteem of the interlocutor. An arrogant person is one who constantly alienates others from himself, because by his actions he sows cold when communicating.

For such a person, it is important to be able to accept their own imperfections and learn to show respect for people. He needs to master the ability to notice his own value, as well as appreciate others. From vertical relationships with the world, where an arrogant person occupies a position from above, he must gradually move into horizontal ones, where communication takes place on an equal footing.

The reasons

In fact, pride is the opposite of nothingness. In other words, it is the antonym of low self-esteem. The way an arrogant person behaves is an extreme, which can hardly lead to anything good. Often arrogance can be the result of improper upbringing. This happens when parents from the earliest years tell their child: "You are the best, the smartest, the most beautiful, you are better than others." To the greatest extent, this is reflected in the self-esteem of the child, when the words of the parents are an absolute lie. They are not supported in any way by his own actions. In other words, the child does practically nothing good, does not make any effort, but at the same time constantly receives praise. Arrogance is formed when a child receives an undeserved reward.

There is another case of the formation of arrogance. A person becomes arrogant when he does not know how to work with his self-esteem, cannot accept his own shortcomings, treat them properly and gradually eliminate them.

Solve problems at the expense of others

So, we have looked at why people are arrogant and where this problem originates. People who do not have peace of mind try in various ways to make up for their mental anguish at the expense of others. Arrogance often occurs when a person feels the pressure of their own psychological problem, but they struggle to contain this pressure. The proverb "from rags to riches" indicates that arrogance is a fairly old problem in the human world. If a person remembers who he was recently and what he did, but begins to be ashamed of his past, tries to forget him, then he has psychological difficulties.

What about the proud?

How to deal with an arrogant person? Psychologists do not recommend trying to subdue him or point to addiction. Often an arrogant person boasts not of his real achievements, but of his plans. In this case, it can and should just be put in place. They say about arrogant people that they have a "high measure." These people have a high level of claims. However, the disadvantage is that these claims are not based on anything. Many rightly consider arrogance to be a mental illness. This character trait deprives the owner of humanity, alienates him from reality. An arrogant person cannot see the real state of things, because everyone around him seems unworthy.

Remember the fable of the tortoise and the hare? They competed in speed, and the hare seemed to be the winner. But due to arrogance, he lost and became a laughing stock.

You have seen charming people who are surrounded by attention. It seems to you that inside them is a magnet that attracts people. Have you asked yourself the question: “Why are they so attractive to others?”. The reason is modesty.

This quality will benefit you. A person strives for humble people, because he feels at ease with them. He does not think about humiliation. A person feels comfort, because modest people do not care about themselves.

Ask the question: “Do I have this quality? Or am I arrogant, like a hare from a fable? Now it's time to start checking your identity and see if the signs below apply to you.

You secretly feel that you are better than others

Even if no one directly heard arrogant phrases from you, this does not mean that you are modest. Do you feel that you have qualities that elevate you above others? Do you think that you are smarter than the people around you? If you are silent, then this is not an excuse.

To avoid a superiority complex, if you have one, tell yourself, “It doesn't matter what my qualities are. I am much better than others, but there is a person smarter than me. Remember what friends have achieved. They haven't been as successful as you, but that doesn't mean they're worse. Each has positive and negative sides.

You don't greet people first

When you are arrogant, you compete because you are hungry for glory. Even in moments when you need to say hello to an acquaintance, you overact it. If you're better, then why don't they greet you first? Let them do it. You get the feeling that greeting first means you are admitting weakness.

You are wrong! Social interaction is built in such a way that a pleasant and intelligent person greets, because he understands that other people feel respect. As a result, they also treat him kindly.

If you like to compete, take part in another competition. Say hello to a friend first! It's not that hard to do, is it?

You ignore others

Do you sometimes think that there are fools around you? Let's say more: these are moments of truth. But this does not mean that we should ignore them in order not to go crazy. It's not every day that people act like they're idiots, even if it seems that way. People sometimes make mistakes. Even you.

You interrupt others

Ask yourself, "When was the last time I listened to people?" You will answer: “Oh, 15 minutes ago!”. But are you really doing it? Do you wait for them to finish their thought and then answer them? An arrogant person interrupts others to get a point across. They believe that they are so smart that they can decide for themselves how to finish the interlocutor's sentence. The feelings of others are not important to them.

You don't take criticism

If you ignore the other person when they criticize you, it means that you are arrogant. An adequate person will listen to the thought, analyze it and thank the interlocutor for being worried. Do so.
