QuestionHow do I deal with arrogance in the office?Community AnswerGive the arrogant person/s a factual example of when they behaved arrogantly and how it affected other people in the office environment. In fact, tell them several, and tell them how they could improve their skills.

QuestionHow do I deal with an arrogant, snobby, stuck up, bossy and annoying 14-year-old girl who undermines others and behaves as though she is in charge when she is not?Tom De BackerTop AnswererYou deal with it by realizing that she is not an adult yet; she is a child, an adolescent. They go through raging hormones, screaming desires and tormenting feelings, kicking at everything they can so they can find their place in this world. Sure, they should behave, but it's not entirely their fault. So be the better person, show some patience, and think, "You have your opinion, I have mine." However, don't hesitate to put her in her place if needed; be kind, calm and firm. Whatever is going on, she still has to behave like a normal person.

QuestionWhat should I do if someone arrogant is making me question my math skills?Community AnswerBe honest.

If he/she constantly bothers you by making fun of you, then that is considered bullying, which you can talk to a trusted adult or someone who can help you with the situation.

QuestionHow do I handle a bunch of arrogant friends at school?Community AnswerIf you have been friends for several years, it is probably okay to drop some hints that they are being arrogant.

QuestionHow do I handle with arrogant person who is disrespectful to his parents?Community AnswerArrogant people can often think they're better than other people and in this case perhaps they think they know more than their parents. If this is a friend of yours, point out how disrespectfully you think they're behaving toward their parents. You might be the first person who has ever said something and if they respect your opinion, it might make a difference. However, don't be surprised if they keep up the behavior toward their parents; it's the parents who need to set boundaries here, not you.

QuestionWhat should I do if a group of arrogant friends won't let me alone despite that I am trying to create distance between us?Community AnswerContinue to give short, distant answers whenever they try to talk with you.

QuestionWhat is the difference between an egotistical and arrogant person? It seems to me they are similar, but egotistical is not as bad/offensive as arrogant.Tom De BackerTop AnswererThey are rather different. A selfish person can still be quite polite, without even a whisper of arrogance in his bones. Arrogant people can still be very altruistic. A person who comes up to you, interrupts your conversation and whatever you're doing to claim your attention for sick children in Africa is not selfish, but very arrogant. And a person who politely engages you in conversation but doesn't hear a word you say and only talks about themselves is not arrogant, but very egotistical.

QuestionHow do I deal with an arrogant roommate?Community AnswerHonestly, I would probably just ignore them. Some people are just like that. You don't have to be best friends with someone just because you're living with them. If they do something to offend you or they're disrespectful of your space, speak up for yourself, but otherwise, just don't pay any attention to them when they're being arrogant.

QuestionHow do I deal with an arrogant person who says things I don't know or understand?Community AnswerEither you too need to set boundaries or this person isn't worth your time. Also please consider "I'll think about it" or "maybe" when they say things that don't make sense to you, or there is always the standard: "What do you mean by that?" to force them to explain themselves or drop the point altogether.

QuestionHow can I tell someone they're cocky?Community AnswerIf they start talking about themselves, say something like, "It's nice to know that you're doing so well, but hearing this non-stop makes me a little uncomfortable." Be specific. Tell them about one specific thing they brag about and explain why it bothers you. Try to help them reflect on themselves by introducing them to someone who is really good at what they do. They might realize how many people in the world are better than them. If they keep going, it might be because they purposely want to irritate you or put you down. In this case, telling them that they are cocky won't really help and it's just best to make an excuse to leave.
