Arrogance
Some of you have seen me rant about this before, in-game or otherwise. As an introduction, I will define and give a bit of information about the word.
Arrogance [ar-uh-guh-ns]:
–noun
offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride.
[Origin: 1275–1325; ME < MF < L arrogantia presumption]
—Synonyms haughtiness, insolence, disdain.
—Antonyms humility, modesty, diffidence.
You see, there are many actions and phrases which can be considered arrogant.
A few of these actions would be:
- Putting down a defeated opponent.
- Bad sportsmanship.
- /piss'ing on an opponent's corpse.
A few of these phrases would be:
- Saying "Owned" or "Pwned" after you kill an opponent.
- I'm the best player/owner/pwner/etc. EVER!!!1111
- Calling people you don't even know "nubs".
(But if you'll please notice, these actions and phrases could possibly display something other than arrogance, under certain conditions which I will not go into detail about.)
Some Examples of Arrogance:
I was jogging in PE one day and this little Hispanic "gangsta" was jogging beside me. It was nice to have a companion in the fronts. Then, at the end, he bursted ahead of me (I let him, I find it encourages people to try harder when they win), and was like, "Ahaha I'm so much faster than you! Hey Coach, do I get extra credit for being first?!" And every little time after that he would point out how he beat me an' s--- even though I never let him get within even 20 feet behind me from then on. I was almost temped to tear out his throat on occasion. In fact, I contemplated killing him with a razor. But I'm not so stupid as to do that. Point is, I hate arrogance.
I was 1v1ing Imurgod. Charlie was spectating. Whenever Imurgod would kill me, Charlie would be like, "Good job" or "Owned" or bulls--- like that. You know how pissed off I got? I lost my f***ing mind and gave in to insanity. I feel bad for what I said, and that Imurgod had to be poisoned (him being young) by my horrible craze. Arrogance doesn't have to be for oneself; arrogance can target others.
I was playing Soccer, only 10 years old. I, being a defender, caught the attacker with the ball, stripped it, and passed it to my mid fielder. My mid fielder failed and the opponent passed the ball back up to the first attacker. I rushed to it and tried to strip the ball, but got kicked in the back of the leg and then the stomach by the attacker. The ref said he didn't hit me. I got up just to see the attacker cheering and hopping up and down. He looked down an gave a hateful sneer. I got up and kicked him in the crotch as hard as I could. He reeled and fell. I got in a hell of a lot of trouble, cleats don't go well with sensitive areas.
Reverse Arrogance?
Many of you have noticed I put myself down often. I keep myself from seeming too good, and try to have others look down upon me. For all of my life, I've been either ignored or bullied. That's all I know from real life. There's 3 kinds of people: Enemies, neutrals, or targets. To keep myself as insignificant to my enemies as possible, I keep a low profile and make them think I'm no threat. I make myself seem as weak as I can. And I will stay this way, no matter how much you hate me for it.
Arrogance says:
"Owned u f*****g noob!!!1111"
When I'd say:
"Nice try."
If someone says:
"Wow ur good"
Arrogance says:
"No s--- u f*****g noob!!!!!11"
When I'd say:
"Thx" or "Naw, I suck. I'm just getting lucky."
People often say, "Stop putting yourself down Souless.", but it's just my nature. I don't know how you've grown up, but this is how I am and will stay.
Conclusion
Truth tells me 90% of my enemies are arrogant as hell. That is my main reason for this hate. Maybe if people were less arrogant, I wouldn't have this erratic bloodlust. If people were more like, say, Miju, this world would be a much better place.
Do NOT post here if you are just going to tell me I'm an emo. That's been frickin' common knowledge among the bastards, so I guess I am.
Please post your opinions about arrogance. I would love to read your takes on it.
