You mention that you're arrogant, I'd be interested to hear what others think about arrogance but personally I don't think it's a good thing as its based on a poor foundation whereas confidence is based on solid foundations.
Well, it's easy to get mixed up because people have different definitions of arrogance. For example the level of confidence I put into interactions when I show who I really am is construed as arrogance sometimes, when really it's just me being me.
Arrogance= wanting everyone to know how awesome you are
Confidence=Knowing your awesome and not really caring what others think
According to those definitions, I meant that I am confident. About 2 months ago, when I was in a state of light depression, I could myself coming off as arrogant and I could tell that I was just trying too hard. I think what I defined as my turning point was when i dropped trying hard and just started being me. Ever since then, my interactions with people have been much more enjoyable for both parties.
Before I was being very arrogant, rude, and pessimistic, but now I'm just bubbly all the time because I am in love with myself haha.
Again, all i can say is that you guys (particularly Kidd and Grinus) are right...about everything.
The reason why i changed and how i am feeling now is exactly as how you described it would be.
I'm currently applying to colleges and i wrote a short essay about this change in myself if any of you would like to read/critique it.
Thanks for the feedback guys; many insightful points have been made so far and I enjoy your criticisms. Keep em coming!
