2.2.3 Different between confidence and arrogance.

A feelings or belief that someone or something is good or has the ability to succeed at something is confidence and an insulting way of thinking or behaving that comes from behaving that you are better, smarter, or more important than other people is arrogance.

Confidence is not a belief that one is always right or a sense of being unable to fail. True confidence welcomes alternative perspectives and opinions. A confident person rarely will be found lecturing or preaching to others on how they are wrong. A truly self-confident person is able to show vulnerability and admit to past mistakes.

Both the confident and arrogant person is aware of personal areas of strength and ability. Confidence and arrogance come from different sources. However, a confident person has little difficulty seeing others gifts and strengths while the arrogant cannot. Confident and arrogance come from different sources. An arrogant person generally has a skewed view of the world and a warped understanding of themselves.

Strive for honest self-acceptance and nurture self-confidence. Beware the pitfalls or crossing the line into overconfidence or arrogance. As with most things in life, the healthy place is always with balance in the middle.
