> consistent arrogance and self-importance
Unfortunately, these words are vague and will only facilitate people projecting their own definitions onto them in order to either support or deny your claim.
If there is a CEO making 500% more than some engineer, and some engineer complains about that, then someone may say, "Hey that person is just some engineer, how self-important and arrogant to complain to the CEO like that", but for me it's self-important and arrogant for the CEO to think the pay is proportional, and brave and commendable for the engineer to speak up.
I have known many assholes. Some were teetotalers and some used cannabis.
Be careful to let your own self-importance and arrogance allow you to think you can or should outright label someone else, or explain another's behavior, especially by pointing at only one facet of their life that you happen to be privvy to.
- RIMR 5y agoYeah, I'm a daily pot-smoker and many of my friends are too, and we're all generally doing great at our careers and personal lives. I did some reflecting upon reading this comment to ensure that I'm not some sort of narcissistic stoner who doesn't get any feedback, but I really can't see that in myself or any of the people I know who are heavy smokers. I'm worried that OP is just looking down on their pot-smoking peers through the lens of stereotypes with a "that's a lot of confidence for a pothead" attitude instead of recognizing that they're legitimately happy, confident people - traits they likely aren't as critical of when they comes from others.
