:: arrogance ::someone asked me over the net, 'are you quite an arrogant gal'? my first thought was... hmmm... is it a feasible question to ask? i mean, well i dunno how many pple would admit honestly that yes, they are arrogant. plus, i think there are many arrogant pple around who don't know/think that they are arrogant at all? hmm... i think there's a problem with me, i like to question other's questions rather than answer them. i think pple don't like me because of this. and i do admit, i AM arrogant. face it, i am. but do i/ should i change? i dunno. i dunno how one can differentiate arrogance from self-confidence. how to judge? and how can one have self-confidence and yet not be branded as arrogant? i've noted many peers who are extremely confident while at the same time i thought them to be unbearingly arrogant. do these two qualities come hand-in-hand?
so do you guys feel i am arrogant?
PS: i would like a response, preferably if the answer is 'yes, you are arrogant'. it's nice when yr friends act as your mirror and i promise i won't bear u a grudge, so fire away!

Arrogant? Hmm .. I hardly think so! Or perhaps it's just that we tend to view friends only from one angle, but no, there's not an ounce of arrogance in you from what I see.
Hey .. cheer up. Your last few posts have had a streak of sadness and self-qiestioning in them, don't let people get to you yah? Just hold your own - we just can't please everybody, and maybe it'll help to keep in mind that you're well-liked by those whom you hang around with? We don't need the world to adore us, it's really quite enough to have a few individuals that like you the way you are.
OK, just blabbering, but the point is - don't worry!! You're really quite fine, don't get paranoid, and cheer up!!
thanks wenky for the really nice and encouraging comment, makes me feel like i've got hot chocolate running in my veins. ok... maybe that's not a very pleasant sight to imagine. anyway, hope you and mr ye had a good latter half of today!
hmmm... i do think i AM arrogant, coz my mom says so too... but what to do... i don't wanna turn into a self-hater or self-despiser... and i think i'm happy in a way, dun wanna change myself to please others... aha... now i guess some people will say: oh she's one of those who's not admitting that they NEED to change. anyway, heck all.
i guess some pple say i'm arrogant based on the way i speak/message on the internet. well... that's one problem of this type of communication, or rather, lack of... there's neither tone of voice nor facial expression. anything that's grammatically correct or structurally complex is deemed as a characteristic of the speech of arrogant/uptight/off/weird/blah blah individuals. heck, such pple should know better to judge based on such a shallow aspect.
actually, i don't see why i cannot be proud of myself for what i've achieved; coz i've worked hard to attain my aims, and i do have a right to be good to my ego right? lolz... well i don't think i look down on other people, but it's hard to say, i might not think i'm doing it but maybe other pple are hating me to the core just because i've said/done something that showed i despised/looked down on them.
wenky's right after all, i cannot please everyone...
