Originally posted by KewpieComment for Kewpie: Arrogance rejects authority and, therefore, remains unteachable in any realm. Normal growth function becomes frustrated. Gradually a self imposed status of ignorance and immaturity becomes the norm. Without an adequate frame of reference or viable perspective, bitternes and hostility lock in. Irrespective of calendar age or IQ, the negativity which rules such foreheads typically compensates by becoming inordinately competitive and developing layers of unrealistic expectation.
Where's the connection?
Arrogant/immature people are never quite treated the way they want to be treated or loved in the precise way (or as much) as they want to be loved. These unfortunate souls often turn to gross excesses (including anti-social behaviour, even criminality, driven by jealousy and hatred) for stimulation in lieu of happiness. Illness in some instances may also cause misery.
