Confidence

freedom-1431380_640It’s arrogance, not confidence, when you:

  • Assume you know it all
  • Think you’re smarter than others
  • Don’t listen and learn
  • Are full of bluster; too sure of yourself in every situation without reason
  • Abuse your power, or browbeat, demean, or put down other people
  • Act superior
  • Think “I’m special. The rules don’t apply to me.”
