Difference between confidence and arrogance?

[Syringer]

Can you be both, one or the other?

And if you consider yourself confident, does that make you arrogant?

Or if you're arrogant and acknowledge it, does that make you confident?

arrogance is confidence without the skills to back it up.

confidence = people like you
arrogance = people hate you

Confidence is faith in your abilities. Arrogance is like pride in a seven-deadly-sins sort of way.

Not quite. Overconfidence is what you are describing. Arrogance, on the other hand, is when you project your own perceived superiority on others.

confidence: I am the sh!t because I am prepared.
arrogance: I am the sh!t. Period.

..and the insistence that you somehow know what's best for others or society.

Confidence is knowing what you're doing. Arrogance is being a dick about it.

Confidence is what I have, arrogance is what you have!

Confidence is when you're right, arrogance is when you're wrong.
