1. People Don’t Flock to You
There are a lot of reasons that people may not flock to you. It might be that you are just incredibly introverted or that you feel awkward around people. It could be for a variety of reasons. But it could also be one of the signs you are arrogant. People will generally avoid you if you are arrogant. No one enjoys being around someone who seems to see themselves as better than others.
***
Arrogance is an attitude of superiority and an unwillingness to accept the opinions of others. It can be hard to spot in yourself, but there are some signs that you may be exhibiting arrogant behavior without even realizing it. People may not flock to you, as they may find you off-putting or intimidating. You may also have a tendency to talk down to people, or not listen to what they have to say. Furthermore, you may be quick to criticize and slow to praise. Finally, you may be more focused on yourself than on others, and be unwilling to admit when you are wrong.
Sometimes it's hard to see it yourself! You might interrupt people a lot or think that your opinions are always the best. It helps to talk to friends and ask if you've ever come off as arrogant to them.
Confidence is great, but there's a fine line. If you become dismissive of others' opinions or brag excessively, it might slide into arrogance. Just keep being mindful and respectful of others.
Honesty is awesome, but delivery matters too! If your honesty lacks empathy, it might be perceived as arrogance. Try to be considerate with how you express your truth.
Arrogance can be sneaky. It might show through in how someone constantly one-ups others, can't take criticism, or avoids admitting mistakes. Little things reveal a lot!
The first step is recognizing it, so you're halfway there! Practice humility by listening more, valuing others' contributions, and appreciating different perspectives.
2. You Seem to Offend a Lot of People
Arrogant people seem to have a knack for offending others. Do you find that you offend people a lot? Again, it may or may not be a sign of arrogance. It could be a sign that you have a strong personality in other aspects or that you are just hanging with an overly sensitive person or group of people. But it can be beneficial to take time to consider why people are easily offended with you. It can offer you valuable information.
***
One way to assess if you are being arrogant is to consider if you are offending people often. If you are, it could be a sign of arrogance, or it could simply be that the people you are interacting with are overly sensitive. It is important to take the time to reflect on why people are easily offended with you. It could give you insight into how you are being perceived, and help you to adjust your behavior to be more respectful of others. Additionally, it could be a sign that you have a strong personality in other areas, which can be beneficial if managed correctly.

3. People Tend to Tell You They Have Things under Control
Do people often tell you they have things other control? Do they make comments to let you know they have things covered? That is a way that they are trying to let you know they don’t need what you may perceive as your expertise. In other words, they want you to butt out. You may think you know best but others don’t necessarily agree.

This goes hand in hand with point number 3. This is a very big sign of arrogance. If you really believe that you know better than others in most or all different situations, you are probably struggling with arrogance. Most of us encounter a few situations we feel this way about from time to time but if this is your first and main reaction to almost everyone you know and situations in their life, it is probably a flag to check for arrogance in your personality.

6. You Interrupt Others a Lot
Sometimes people interrupt others a lot just because it is a bad habit. Sometimes they just do it unintentionally and without thought. But sometimes people interrupt because they feel like what they have to say is more important than what someone else is saying. They think that the importance of their statement gives them the right to talk over someone. That is a sign of arrogance.

7. You Truly Believe You Are Better than Others
If you not only think that you know better than others but that you are better than others, you have some huge signs you may struggle with arrogance. An arrogant person sees themselves as above others. They may see themselves as above others in looks, intelligence, actions or many other ways. It is good to have good self-esteem and know what you excel at but if you think you are better than others in all ways, stop and take a good look at yourself. You may find some arrogance there.
These things can be really hard to hear and harder still to admit, but if you don’t know you can’t change. Has arrogance ever been a problem for you? Do you know an arrogant person with some of these characteristics?

Cierra: Im on the fence when it comes to people 'flocking to you' I don't have many friends but I don't think its because I'm arrogant; I'm happy with the true close friends I do have. Although some ppl have told me they thought I was stuck up until they got to know me... So IDK
Irene: It is a terrible defense mechanism. It does draw people away.
Irene: Guilty! Change is the best way and its going to take some time. Then again i generally avoid people because i just don't like to get hurt.
