When someone looks down on you or tries to make you feel small, remember this: arrogance and superiority often reflect insecurity, not strength. Some people believe they’re above others and make it obvious.
When you face such behavior, protect your peace with calm confidence. The best defense is not anger, but boundaries—clear, firm, and respectful. Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re shields that preserve your mental and emotional space.
Stay courteous but assertive. Losing your temper gives them control and makes you appear unreasonable, while calmness keeps your dignity intact. Politeness disarms arrogance and reminds others that you value yourself enough not to engage in petty power games. True strength lies in composure—quiet, steady, and self-assured.
