1) They always want to be in the spotlight – Angelina they want to be the center of attention.

Proverbs 27:2 “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.”
2) They never admit it when they’re wrong – arrogance causes them to walk away rather than apologise when wrong – I like this Angelina Colleen says they boastful people with argue with you as if it’s your fault and cause you to apologise instead of admitting they are wrong, cause they love to be right.“ 1 Corinthians 1:31 So that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
3) They think their preference is superior – If your preference is different to their’s they make you feel that your preferences are inferior – a lot of arrogance in boastful attitude. – examples “Whether it be their interest in music, movies, or even more complex things such as politics, they tend to put themselves on a pedestal. If you don’t like their favorite food, they’ll say you’re uncultured. They will say that you have terrible taste. Maybe they’ll even go as far as to insult your favorite cuisine and your go-to restaurants just to make themselves look better.” James 3:5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire.”
4) They keep pulling others down – I heard a rumour they say. They criticize everyone they know to the point where it can no longer be called constructive criticism. Arrogant people nitpick other’s mistakes without considering the person’s feelings. They mull over other people’s flaws to present themselves as better. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Psalm 18.26 – To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the wicked you show yourself clever.”
5) They lie all the time. Arrogant people want you to believe that their lifestyle is better than yours. They will lie about their lives to make it seem like theirs is much more interesting. Remember that incident when an influencer took a photo in first class only to go back to their seat in coach after they posted the photo. These pretentious people will brag about their lavish lifestyles and take deceiving photos to make sure you’re jealous of them.
Jeremiah 9:23 “Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man
boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches.”

6) They never give you a chance to speak - This is a big sign that they’re arrogant. This is the type of person who will cut you off when you are trying to say something. They will even take credit for what you were trying to say. They always want the spotlight. “Psalm 94:4 They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. 1 Corinthians 1:31 So that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
7) They get mad at feedback - When you give them feedback about their work, they take it the wrong way. Arrogant people get so defensive when they think they’re being criticized. They see your remark as negative feedback even if you were just being objective. It doesn’t matter if your intentions are pure, they won’t take it well.You leave them with a comment on how you think they can improve their performance and they’ll think that you’re judging or hating on them. James 4:16 “As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.”
8) They’re too competitive - Jack Welch says “Everything is a competition with arrogant people. They don’t care how aggressive they get when they’re trying to achieve success.” A simple thing like playing a game of cards – a
