Dealing with stuck up and arrogant people is energy draining. What I've noticed over the years of dealing with some of these people is that they act like they are better than others, talk down to them, and even treat others as if they are disposable. I will say, I am glad I got most of them out of my life. There will always be people around like that, it is unavoidable unfortunately. But I have gotten better at dealing with them.
I used to believe people do that just for fun, and while that may be the case, I have come to learn that the real reason is because they are very insecure and don't have as much life experience as they claim to have or think they have. They are just putting others down in order to build themselves up. I feel like people who treat others as disposable get some sort of power trip from it.
I think the most common signs of arrogance is a inflated ego, constantly talking about oneself, constant boosting, acting like they know everything, and even telling people they are better than others. The most common signs of being stuck up are treating others as disposable, fake behavior, ignoring people or treating people who are different from them poorly, feels the need to be in the center of attention, and some people may even admit to being stuck up.
I feel like being stuck up and arrogant can go hand in hand simce it seems that people with one trait usually has the other as well. How have you guys dealt with people like this? Are there any other common traits I may have missed? Do you guys think these traits go hand in hand? Has anyone ever admitted to you that they were stuck up or arrogant? I have had a couple people admit it to me, and they were right about it too. If you don't give them the attention they want, it won't be as energy draining.
