Arrogance is a non-admittance of flaw.
Confidence is accepting your non perfect but not letting it hold you back

I'm confident that i'm not arrogant , but that's an arrogant statement about confidence.

confidence=faith in yourself and what you can do
arrogance= lack of faith and therefore an act to dispel it...

Regardless of actual age: Arrogance is a frightened, insecure child....confidence is a mature adult.

You can't miss it , the line is right beside the gay/straight line.

The love/hate line is around the corner.

confidence is walking up to Bella and taking her home
arrogance is thinking that will happen

Confidence: believe you can, but somebody else also can too under the right circumstances and you are totally cool with that.
Arrogance: believe only you can and try to belittle other people based on this belief.

Confidence is knowing you're good (at whatever).
Arrogance is twatting on about it.

I cross the tenuous line between confidence and arrogance every time I ride my bike. Confidence: I know how to ride fast without breaking a sweat, leaving myself (and other road users) a safety margin. Arrogance: riding at 11/10ths, giving free reign to my aggressive riding style and not giving a fuck what happens, or if I come back from a ride in an ambulance or in a body bag.

The road is my racetrack. Follow me if you dare (or if you have a deathwish)...

Good manners should define that line.

Actually, poor manners can also define the line.

I'm arrogantly confident this 'line' is trampled on quite regularly.

Confidence is knowing that you are in control of your life.

Arrogance is thinking you are in control of your life.

A confident person can learn from a mistake, an arrogant person never admits a mistake.

I seem to remember a line from W. Strunk and E.B. White in "Elements of Style", something like "one man's arrogance is another man's superior education". Pretty snooty in an amusing way.

But I find that usually people who are arrogant are masking some insecurity or unhappiness, and they are usually disappointing to me.
