I don’t think I’m arrogant. I’m probably pompous though. And I don’t think I know it all, but I tend to be dogmatic.
Maybe there’s no difference, but I like to think there is. I like to think one is egotisitical and holds an inflated sense of self-importance, whereas the other is very confident in their abilities and ideas but understands that there is always someone with a greater skill or better idea.
I know I need to keep working on my active-listening and listening-with-empathy skills, but I really do try. Seems to me, this is the way to temper my confidence and take the negative bite out of my dogmatic pomposity.
