arrogance is having a lot of self esteem and lying to oneself that he is what he is not. self esteem is the measurement of how you think of yourself. youre arrogant when youre going against the actual truth in the back of your brain

Confidence doesn't need to say a word about it. Confident is what I am when I know I can do something and I just do it. No one has to know I can do it. It's what I know for sure. If a police man asks me can I move my car, and I say sure and go do it, there's no arrogance in that. Arrogance is thinking the ability to move that car makes me something better than all the rest the people are. More special. Self-esteem is valuing one self. If I value me more than I value you, I do indeed have self-esteem. I'd also be arrogant. But if I value You, and the guy next door, as much as me (even if I dislike his presence completely) so much so that I'd not dream of harming either one of you, then I just have self-esteem and not arrogance. I could do that with or without confidence.

Coming in contact with someone that has a positive self-esteem is nothing like coming in contact with someone that is arrogant. Self-esteem is regal, symbiotic, and silent. An arrogant person is immature, self- centered, and shouting how great they are. Self-esteem is the knowing who they are, while arrogance displays they have no idea who they are.

I think it's all about ones attitude. People can have any or all of these qualities and not come across like they're better than other people.
I also think that arrogant people really lack self-esteem
I draw the line with their attitude

Healthy self-esteem is simply put a sense of self value and self respect. Feeling good about yourself is not given to hautiness or outward pridefulness.
Your examples respesent just the opposite one being a preener and the other a bore.
If you have to ask which is which, you're probably not seeing a good example of good healthy self-esteem.

Self-esteem comes from within. Arrogance is measured by external barometers -- usually at the expense of another.

Arrogance is the lack of self-esteem.

Self-esteem is positive and quiet.
Arrogance is negative and loud.

Self-esteem is: I know that I'm valuable. You may not know it, but yes I am!!!!
Arrogance: I'm valuable. I'm special. I'm above you all. And MORE important, I'll make sure you and everyone else know it. So here, prepare to listen to me talking about my self.

self-esteem is knowing your limitations; arrogance is biting off more than you can chew
