Can Arrogance Be A Good Thing ?

[AHappyTeddyBear]

Hey there !

So i thought about this during my day...

If I  talk to myself in my own mind and tell myself ''I'm superiour compared to this trash'' ''Im the best'' ''I can do this'', but don't show it on the outside, 

is it still considered OK ?

It really gives me alot of confidence and makes me feel better about myself and I kinda like this mindset a lot, tbh..

opinions on this ''Mindset'' on this please .!

I also feel like I perfom like 20 % better at anything I do in life...

Only the fact that you are asking this here tells me that you yourself have doubts that this is good. 

Arrogance is just one of the manifestations of Consciousness. Not good, not bad. 

I felt a lot better once I've transcended that...

I don't think you should listen to your mind at all.

I also tell myself things like that. While I agree it's not something that I advocate  (I'm not the most compassionate person) I feel like it is necessary to get through the day, at this point in my life. I didn't have th best ever childhood or many great opportunities. I was abused by both my mom and my ex husband. As much as I don't want to label myself a victim, I can't forget the things that happened and the fact is that they had a negative effect on me, my personality, and my thoughts. I tend to think I'm better than other people because I am terrified of being dominated or shot down by another person or situation and turning into that victim, that I once was, again. I act super confident and use humor and sarcasm to protect myself.

Yes, I understand it's not the ideal way to live but I am not ready to get rid of those barriers. I still work at a job I hate (that I  can't just quit because the bills don't stop coming and I have to power through the day regardless of how I feel) and have almost no one I can trust, right now. I just have to accept my situation and strive forward, hoping that one day I can drop down my many shields and be open, vulnerable, compassionate, and happy.

For now, I'm going to judge these ignorant morons and their petty drama and bullshit. I have gone through so much and I manage to avoid stupid gossip and feeling sorry for myself & complaining 24/7 about problems they themselves create & are too lazy to solve...

As long as you can back it up and love others freely. That's what is really important.
