Arrogant is an adjective that may refer to having excessive pride in oneself. A person who is arrogant often exaggerates one's own worth or importance in an overbearing manner.

An example of being arrogant is someone who plays football and scores the most points out of any other member for their team, and say they don't need the team.

Often people who are arrogant are not aware of their own behavior or don't want to recognize they are arrogant. A person can be arrogant but not show it externally to others due to their thoughts, actions and emotions.

A strongly arrogant person will usually try to downplay or not like other peoples achievements or ideas even if they are good or noteworthy because they want to be more important and dominant. This makes reasonable communication difficult and arguments impossible to resolve fairly as the arrogant person will not accept the other persons point of view no matter how logical/intuitive or correct it is because the arrogant person is really having an emotional argument about their own arrogance.

Arrogance is an unpleasant unloving experience for people interacting with someone who has an arrogant personality. Most people do not like or enjoy being with excessively arrogant people which makes the arrogant person unpopular. Arrogant people do not notice this problem or cannot change their behavior because their personality/ego enjoys being arrogant much more than being liked by or having a respectful, loving and accepting attitude towards other people.

Arrogant people are often unable to realize they are not as good as they assume they are or have problems recognizing their own self limitations. Arrogant people are usually over competitive and don't know when to quit.

Often arrogant people can be overbearing and try to coerce/force people into doing what they don't want to do with little regard for the other persons feelings or the groups best interest.

Many movies and stories are made more entertaining and ease plot development by having characters that have an arrogant personality. Characters that are very arrogant and have a complete disregard for others are considered evil.
