Arrogance is the way a person acts when they have decided they matter more than you, and they let you feel it. It is not the same as being proud. Proud can be quiet and fair: you did the work, you know it, you do not need to step on anyone. Arrogance is the extra layer — talking down, not listening, taking up the room as if other people are in the way.

Though actually people use it a little loosely. Someone who is only blunt, or tired, or sure because they are right, can still get called arrogant. The tidy meaning is “rude because you think you are very important.” Real talk sometimes just means “I did not like how sure they sounded.”

Though actually people use it a little loosely不過實際上大家用得有點鬆：Someone who is only blunt, or tired, or sure because they are right一個只是說話直、或只是累了、或只是因為自己有理才顯得篤定的人，can still get called arrogant還是可能被說成arrogant。The tidy meaning is "rude because you think you are very important."字典整齊的定義是『因為覺得自己很重要而顯得無禮』，Real talk sometimes just means "I did not like how sure they sounded."但實際說話有時候只是在講『我不喜歡他講話那麼篤定的樣子』。
