DAE get told they are arrogant for the wrong reasons?

r/

I have a lot of self-confidence. And high self-esteem. I’m proud of who I’ve become and how I navigate the world. I speak my truth. And I don’t really care how other’s view me.

And this comes across to people as arrogance. However, to me these characteristics are not about being arrogant.

I do not have an exaggerated sense of importance. I don’t think I’m better than other people. I’m not a bragger. I’m often the quiet one. And I certainly do not force my beliefs or my personality upon others.

It’s not arrogance; I just happen to really like who I am.

Does anyone else have this experience?

    Yeah. That be me. I don’t speak and often people criticize me for that.
