Need advice on next sub

I disagree, somehow there is alot of talk about how being cocky or a bit arrogant isn't confidence and I don't know where it come from. I wonder if it is related to how masculinity is being attacked.

I mean at the extreme level yes it can be compensating and there is people who do that and it can come from insecurity.

But at the same time when I am fully confident I am also naturally cocky and it comes out in my interactions. And when that happens it isn't coming from insecurity.

I think that in some cases they actually do go together, and I can't say for sure but i'd point the finger at something to do with political correctness causing so much information out there telling us this isn't true.

No problem man.

I think confidence is your belief in your abilities whereas arrogance is confidence gained by putting others down. You can be cocky in a funny way (heck, people love it). But being cocky by putting others down is arrogance.

Seems like a pretty accurate description, I'd say there's also anger involved to some length. Confidence is that you know you have the capability to succeed in what you decide to tackle. Arrogance seems to come when you are not sure that you can succeed and then become angry for not being able to, so you put others down below yourself and create the illusion that you are better than them. This might also happen without acknowledging to yourself that you are insecure, so I can imagine that happening without the anger being much on the surface.
