Confidence?

Well you are saying it out loud (typing it) (displaying) it here. Also if you walked up to me with the attitude that you are superior or better than me, I would probably sense it. Not a good way to present yourself.



I am telling you my arrogant thoughts I guess you could say, so yeah I agree with you there. But like I said no one can read my mind. And the way I present myself isn't arrogant either, well when it comes to posture arrogance and confidence are identical. Slouching = insecure, while standing tall = confident/superior There's no neutral stance. You feel me...? You can only assume my intentions, but assuming just makes an ass out of you and me so that's up to the person being judgmental.
 
Standing tall doesn't make you confident, arrogant, or superior. That just means you are standing correctly. lol



Anyways when people approach me with the attitude that they are better than me or superior I just laugh to myself because there is no way in hell they are better than me. No matter who they are.

Then I feel sorry for them for being such arrogant dickheads.

What an arrogant thing to say. Lmao IDK if it's just me, but you keep changing around your opinions. The point of an argument is to stick to your side unless you realized you were wrong.
 
Its not arrogant because they arent better than me. Im not better than them. We are both just people.

If they're not better then you then that means you're better then them right...?

Or that you're equals.

No. I dont see why you feel the need to think that way. We are all only human. We should treat our fellow man as our equals and with respect.
 
So when someone thinks they're better then you you just think you're equal...? Who thinks like that. Y'all are so wack. Lmao it's like in sports, if someone is talking shit and saying they're better then you are your defense is no we're equal... lmao ok. Whatever floats your boat guys.

I for one don't believe the outlook is wack and I also don't think we are wrong when numerous agree while its just you, who is on your side.

They can think whatever they want. That doesnt make them less of a person than I am.
 
Where is your competitive nature? I don't get it! Stop kidding yourselves. Yeah it's easy to say all of this, but everyone is arrogant if it's what you're saying it means. So you're saying that someone who kills someone is just as equal as you are? Yeah, maybe they used to be, but after they killed someone I would say I'm a little better then that. Believe me y'all are just saying this now, but in real life it's almost impossible to think how you're saying you do. Just stop. I shouldn't have to think before I think. Lmao



Yeah respecting others is one thing, but what you're saying is like being perfect. Like Jesus.
 
He isn't saying everyone is perfect but no one is better than anybody.

Well that's where you're wrong, because I'm better then a murderer. Fuck that! You guys can stay on his level, but imma soar baby haha. The murderer had his chance, but he fucked it up. That's why there is heaven and hell. For the good and bad. And good is better then bad.

Wrong. Nobody is perfect, thats what makes us human.

Sure you could be better at certain tasks or posses certain skills and I could be better at other certain tasks and posses other skills but that doesn't make you superior to me nor does that make me superior to you.

Yeah but knowing you're better at something then someone is thinking arrogantly...right? So in essence the only way you could get past that is believing your at the same level when you know you're not. So you're just lieing to yourself so you don't look arrogant. Kinda how you said im lieing to myself in the way I think. IDK man seems like we're getting to the same point. We're all just lieing to ourselves. So stop it! Lmao



OMG that's gunna be my next quote. Stop lieing to yourself haha. Debate over.

Lol. Im not lying to myself at all. I know who I am and I dont care about what another person can do or how great they think they are. I only see people as people. I dont understand how you could think that if people are better at a certain task, that makes them a superior being.
 
That's my point tho. You can't label someone as arrogant like you were to me earlier in this whole skuffle. Everyone has arrogant traits unless they're lieing to themselves. I'm not gunna sit there and say i'm equal to someone when I know they're not. In equal I mean like at a certain sport or activity. There will always be someone better then you at something. And it's pretty obvious if they are, so knowing and thinking you're better then someone at basketball is just stating the facts. Not being arrogant. I never labeled anyone until you did. All I said is I think arrogantly at times like when going to talk to a girl or meeting new friends. And that doesn't mean I'm arrogant. Cuz if doing one arrogant act labels you as completely arrogant then everyone in the world would be. No one is equal at everything in life. There are always people better at certain things and you know that!

Yeah everyone is good at something but that doesn't make them better / superior people.



You say that you walk around automatically thinking you are better than everyone else. That does not describe a confident person at all. That describes an arrogant person or an insecure person in denial (if they are lying to themselves that is).



A confident person believes in themselves and doesn't need to resort to petty comparisons to everyone else. A confident person does not think of others as beneath them. A confident person does not need to constantly assure themselves that they are better than who ever they come into contact with. A confident person does not even need to think about such things in the 1st place because they are secure with themselves.

So then what does a confident person think about. Oh man, hey what's up fred you know were equal right..? Oh ok cool. Just thought you should know.



You can't just be without thinking. Confident people feel bad for others who are not confident in themselves. And I don't believe that when you see someone like this you just say to yourself that you're on the same level. Nah you think man I'm glad I'm not like that guy. And when human nature kicks in your mind automatically makes comparisons. Which makes you think to yourself that you're better then that. I swear if you don't do that then I give up cuz you're just a perfect saint. Or lieing to me. Comparisons will always be made. You can't stop that. That's where judgments come in as well. And don't tell me you never judge people either cuz then I'll know you're lieing. Judgments are how we react to change. Yeah we can try not to judge others, but just cuz you try and succeed sometimes... There will still be times where you slip up. Judgments are a human defense mechanism for change. It's how we adapt to it.
 
Well I can look at others and be disappointed in something they are doing / have done or be amazed / proud of something they have accomplished, that doesnt mean I think they are less or more of a person than I am. Sorry I think we are all all equals. We all bleed when you prick us. Nothing anyone can do can make them better/superior than anyone else.
