Interesting connection between arrogance and shame. Definitely something I will consider the next time I encounter someone whom I perceive as arrogant. Cheers Dr. Mardy for another great thought piece.

Thanks, John. Yes, an interesting connection. I believe Bradshaw was the first to make that connection.

Just a great read today! I have always wondered about the self-doubt driving arrogance. I have known a few in my time and even tried to comfort one or two along the way, thinking that a kindness or two would assuage their insecurity, but alas, nothing could be done.

But at least you have confirmed my suspicions. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliment, Bett, and thanks for sharing your experience. The insecurity of most arrogant people is so deeply buried that they don't even know it exists!
