Patterns of Arrogance
If you or someone you know has a tendency to behave arrogantly, here are 3 possible ways of thinking or acting that may be playing a signicant part in that arrogance:
Self-Elevation
What it is: Self-elevation is when you have a tendency to believe your own abilities or importance is higher than objective circumstances justify.
For example: Maybe you (or someone you know) believe that you will always succeed or that others cannot do without you or that you are always right or that you don't make mistakes.
Minimizing
What it is: Minimizing involves downplaying or ignoring the negative impact of your actions on others as you attempt to justify yourself or what you are doing in a way is very insensitive or borders on denial.
For example: You make out that your actions towards someone else don't matter because they deserve it or because if you hadn't said what you did say then someone else would have done so.
Low Frustration Tolerance
What it is: Low frustration tolerance is when you consider it terrible or unbearable if others get in the way of you achieving your aims or wishes or if you personally don't achieve what you want.
For example: You lose patience with yourself or with others very quickly when things don't go as you would wish.
