Is it possible to develop arrogance simply by being surrounded by arrogant people? Something I've been wondering lately. :dunno:
Yes, and computer/programming nerds are some of the worst offenders next to art students.
I'm a computer nerd! I'm not arroga... well, maybe a little bit sometimes, but aren't we all?
I think arrogance can be contagious like the people above me have said.
run sudo nano on a system file and then to pipe it to grep for searching.

I know this having been on both sides. It is important since half the job of both of those is coming across as being better than your peers even if it isn't true!
Yes. Look at academia. When something like this becomes a group norm, then this is adopted by group members as their norm.
Having worked at a college yes, you will never meet so many people who think they know how to do your job even if they have no idea how to do it. Something about getting a PHD makes you insane.
I think you find arrogance where you have very professional people. I would guess that the more arrogant a person is, the more insecure they probably feel. I went to a music conservatory, and many of the musicians where extremely arrogant where music was concerned. It seemed like the better the musician, the less arrogance.
No, no, no, no, no! :wallbash: Not unless you let other people control you and your feelings. Be your own person!![]()
