confidence is quiet, in word and action, and needs no recognition.

Arrogance is loud, flashy, and needs to be acknowledged.

It depends on how you define success - but confidence is real, arrogance is a mask, which indicates, to me, which is a better quality - because, as qualities, they are mutually exclusive.

Confidence says "I can do this"

Arrogance says "I can do this by myself.

One leaves open the option of getting help if needed.

One says I don't need anyone else.

Confidence is essential to success.

Arrogance is lonely in failure and success

I think that the main difference between confidence and arrogance is perception.

A confident person knows his/her own strengths and weaknesses.

An arrogant person thinks that they know everything and that everyone looks up to him/her which is usually not the case at all.

Confidence is believing in your self.
Arrogance is deceiving yourself... into belieiving that "you" are bigger, & better than others.
