I hear this about myself all the time. People say it to my face at almost every social gathering I attend.
Oh, you are so arrogant.
This always amuses me, simply because I’ve been in treatment for severely low self esteem since I was nineteen. Apparently, when you’re called worthless and stupid, in a million subtle ways, for the first eleven years of your life, it breaks you a bit. Who knew?
To be completely honest, I love being called arrogant. It makes me feel like I’ve really accomplished something in my life. So, when I get called arrogant, I sometimes say, “thank you!”
This reaction doesn’t help my cause. It usually turns my level of arrogance into a topic of discussion, debate, and, one time, a screaming argument.
So, maybe I am an arrogant prick. Maybe I think that I’m smarter and better than everyone.
I really don’t. But maybe I am unconscious of these thoughts.
To this possibility I say, What Ever. So be it. Arrogance is so much better than suicidal self loathing. Trust me.
