i think that arrogance judges, while confidence does not.

i think a confident person is positive and makes others feel good about themselves. an arrogant person, the opposite.

Arrogance is from the ego while genuine confidence is a natural part of the soul allowed to shine its light of inspiration.

I am assuming you mean "self-confidence" rather than confidence.

Charlie Sheen is arrogant.

Johnny Dep is self-confident.

Self- confidence is simply believing in your own self - your abilities or looks, or values. It shows that you are in charge of your own mind and not flaky or wavering or insecure, and you are comfortable with your decisions. It's attractive.

Arrogance is when someone think that they are superior to you, or more important. It's offensive.

If she likes you it's confidence, if she doesn't like you it's arrogance.

confidence means you have faith in yourself and your abilities....arrogance means you THINK you are better than others, and have all the answers.

That's how I would see it as well.

Man, ain't that the truth! It's open to "interpretation" shall we say.

Confident people see no need to have the last word, look down on others, broadcast their abilities. Confident people can just be. they know who they are and are comfortable in themselves even if you don't know who they are. Arrogant people must inform all about their accomplishments, their views on everything. And typically, arrogant people are very condescending.

That's what they always say when they are less accomplished and not as cool! If you can't hack a general conversation with someone without getting jealous of them..... you aren't confident. You are a jealous d-o-u-c-h-e! Not you of course.
