What I hate the most in this world…

Arrogant people!

In my nowadays activity, I meet a lot of people. Most of them are wonderful, but some of them… are not.

I don’t like especially arrogant people because they have that superiority attitude and that exaggerated self-importance. I don’t agree with this because all of us have a thing where we succeed and a thing where we suck.

There are some scientific studies which proved that arrogant people are difficult, are dominant and they attack individuals. These are some characteristics which might help them to succeed

Because we don’t want to be bullied by these kinds of people, here are some tips on what we can do:

  • Ask for an opinion from a third-person. In most cases you are right, but there are also some moments when it helps you to have another feedback regarding that person. Maybe there is something you don’t know and it will help you to understand better that person.
  • Confront that person and ask for more arguments. ”What makes you say this?” and let the arrogant people explain him/herself. In most of situations they use some stereotypes. When you put them this question, they tend to understand they made a negative statement without a clear base.
  • Confess them when they hurt your feelings - everybody has to react on some assertive comments on this.
  • Confront that person regarding his feeling of superiority. ”Explain to me based on what do you feel superior?”Give him/her examples of things where he/she might not exceed.
  • Use the ”arrogant” etiquette - not to him/her, but for him/her behaviour. It will be hard for him/her to assume that what he/she did it was arrogant.

I don’t know if it is good or not, but we can only control ourselves. We cannot control other people and because of this, we have to be careful about how we manage relationships with difficult people near us.
