I'd like to use Muhammad Ali as an example. He always had a way of getting under his opponents skin before a fight. lol He used physiology to get into their head. Saying whatever he needed to get the other guy upset or angry. He might have came across as that way to some. The truth, he was the best and could knock any mofo out. He was also a very nice guy. I bet women still are scratching their heads on him even now. We knew, we always did!
Texas User, in order to be cocky and conceited, you have to believe you are better than everyone else for some reason. So what are you selling? Are you handsome or smart or what? A conceited guy with no goods is a douche.
Some would see it that way. It depends on the person observing.

I'm not the greatest or the best ever, but I'm pretty good at being ME and what I do. So much so, it makes others nervous around my presence. That's their problem, not mine. When you do what you do and try to relate with others or explain it and they don't get it, it's not my problem. You are even nice about it and try to teach or show them. Rather than be thankful they get pi*ssed off sometimes. They have the chip on their shoulder or the attitude problem or malfunction, not me. Someone cocky or arrogant would never offer help or to help in the first place for FREE.
There is a happy medium. Not putting up with peoples crap should be seen as a positive trait, not a negative one.

I don't like the term brag. If someone asks you what you are capable of or have done in your life, I don't see anything wrong with telling them. I would think that the guy who has nothing or very little to say has very little if anything to be proud of. You know "THAT" guy. He sits in the back corner and doesn't speak a word. I don't get jealous about someones success and achievements. IF the guy made a million last week on Wall Street, cool for him. Tell me how you got that knowledge to do it and was it just luck? I get interested in things like that. Oh, you just bought a Corvette. Cool, what did you get on it? How do you like it? The guy who gets p*ssed and jealous because he drives a Caviler has issues. Maybe that's why wealthy people come up to me and just start spilling their life history at random with me. I'm not the type to ridicule them or snub them. I want to hear about it.
My dentists talks to me about the African safaris he goes on at part of MY expense. lol I also see his Mercedes parked out in the lot. He talks to me about fishing off his pier at his house on the lake and how they have been biting. Hey, he went to school and worked his butt off for it. He is also the best in the area and is highly intelligent. He earned it!
