another example of arrogance:
the unreliable or 'always late' person. these people have convinced themselves that their stuff is necessarily more important than anyone else's stuff. they have no problem compromising others, and do so every single time they behave unreliably or turn up late. in fact, this is probably one of the most common forms of negative arrogance, but is rarely seen for what it is.
when you start to look at this behaviour in a more focused fashion, you quickly see that it says very unpleasant things about the person doing it. there is a desperate need for power (I control things, you will wait on me) - ugly in itself, a fear of abandonment (I'll be the one to bail, not you), desire to insult (I'm sending a loud and clear message that don't deserve my effort), and desire to elevate oneself (my stuff is far more important than anyone else's).
I won't invite such people into my world. I have the advantage of 'professional' awareness of the early signs, but even without that I think I'd probably avoid them. Life is too short for flakes.
