Understanding the psychology of an arrogant person!steemCreated with Sketch.

in #psychology7 years ago

Fellow Steemians!

In today's world and particular in social media (not referring to steemit in particular) you come across of very arrogant people. Some people might never realise this and accept so-called superiority behaviour of such individuals and even admire them as revolutionary leader

It happened in the 20th century with extremist movements across Europe - scientists still try to  understand why these leaders managed to create a War, seduced entire nations to do ugly things. 

Does this mean every arrogant person is a bad human being? Certainly not BUT there is only a small step from being simply an arrogant asshole (sorry for the flaming word - forgive my basic English -not a native speaker) towards inflated self-esteem leading to radical movements in the end.

This is just my personal view (without a source, without quoting scientists) based on my life experience I wanted to share. Don't be afraid - there will be no long essay or analysis of human behaviour or brain! I am not a psychologist, I am not a social worker, I am not a politician - I am one of these idiots people laugh at because they claim we need positive vibes to be successful in any environment, it can be in a company, in a family or in a social network! 

I only want to point out - Be Careful who you follow - and always ask yourself continuously if this is really what you think si right or if it is just something someone tells you to be right!  Reflect yourself! Ask questions! But do it in a nice way anytime! Smile if someone tells you fuck-off but learn your lesson.

Thanks for listening and do not get seduced by negative people (and I certainly used some visuals from Pixabay to illustrate!) - Namaste - Steem On!

Never follow a person, follow and support good collective actions, because people may change if they climb the pyramid of power.
Never argue about the traits character of a person (because it is non-observable nobody can see this not even the person himself).
We have to deal with range of personalities or leadership from autocratic (difficult to change) to democratic (open to change)

Autocratic leaders make people obey and democratic leaders make people do actions with autonomy to produce change and autonomy.
When we make people see their wrong actions they can change their actions and consequently change their attitudes, values, and behavior

Agree to a certain point here, thanks for commenting @charlie777pt

Interesting topic, @Uwelang. I often get misunderstood this way. Either I don't say my opinion, to not offend other people, then I am said to be ignorant. Or I am convinced of me and my goals and opinions, then I am arrogant!

Yeah I can hear you - but at least you show self reflection which is cool! So you are not arrogant!

Shame, now I can't persiflage you 8-). I never noticed your being arrogant, do you have samples?

@holgermarkgraf. But for completeness, I never noticed you being arrogant either 8-).

It's fun to persiflage the truly arrogant here on Steemit, so these people do serve a purpose 8-).

no persiflage just a usual post :-)

Niveau ist keine Handcreme und sieht nur von unten wie Arroganz aus...
;-)

das ist mal von einer sehr positiv runden Seite betrachtet - gefällt mir

Haha, toller Spruch!

Ich hab auch einen: Wer mit der Herde läuft, tritt die ganze Zeit in Scheiße und glotzt den ganzen Tag auf Ärsche!

Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of people mistake "assertive forcefulness" (whether right or wrong) for "leadership."

The thing is what you consider "assertive forcefulness" vs. "leadership"

Perhaps described as the difference between someone who simply demands "You must do what I say because I am the greatest!" and someone who simply goes about BEING great and other people wish to emulate the greatness in a more organic manner.

thanks @denmarkguy - good definition - i see you are skilled in psychology in contrary to me
