why people like to show of whatever they have and feel arrogant about it ?

If they are doing it through arrogance its because they live in a world of superficial happiness. Feel sorry for them.\n\nIf its family or loved ones they may do it because they think you will be happy for them and vice versa, which is nice.

We all have an ideal image of ourselves which we constantly try to live up to. But actually accomplishing this is a difficult task. So, some people tend to find alternatives and they imagine themselves to be that perfect person and talk in the same way. In its wake, they have to tell many lies. The motive is not only to impress others by showing they are better than they actually are, but to convince THEMSELVES that they succeeded in being what they always wanted to be. \n  Yes, it is a sign of weak personality, because it arises from the lack of understanding of oneself and one’s weaknesses. Such people often do not realize what they are doing. They usually are insecure and have inferiority complex.

You can't satisfy anyone without pulling yourself apart trying to accomodate them. You can't make everyone happy. We try to seek approval from others because it adds to what we think our self worth is. We want people to be proud of us and like us, it is just the way we were taught to put others opinions and values over our own.

Because they think they're better than others, or either they're insecure about themselves and try to find fault in others just for the heck of it. It happens a lot nowadays, you just have to learn to be more open-minded. If people dont like you for who you are, that's their problem.

To make up for personal insecurities. They know that people who are kind to them will less likely hurt them if they treat them condescendingly. They then assume that kind people are that way because they lack self esteem and confidence to stand up for themselves. Or they think these people are intimidated by some quality of theirs that they're very proud of.

B/c people think that it is funny to watch things that degrade other people or that it's funny to laugh at another person's expense.  Sure, these people are willing to make an ass out of themself, but to me, the shit is not funny!!

sounds as if they are jealous of something about you, so they try to make you angry to compromise yourself in some way, you know.. to make you look bad in front others.

There is a pleasure associated with knowing something that others don't. Sort of makes one feel superior. It is a terribly hard habit to break,  but once you do, you will feel better. (I keep trying).

Makes some people feel Superior to put others down. It is usually a result of low self esteem.

maybe you're jealous of them or maybe you don't want to see anyone get further ahead than you or see someone accomplish more than you.

I try not to judge people because everyone  is different and has their own ideas.  I try to see the good in everybody and try to show my respect for them.

because there are those who feel that by answering a question with a smart rude remark that they will prove some point. Normally they are trying to show off in front of other's and cannot gain attention so they use this format where they can be heard and not ignored as they normally are in public.

It is arrogant to place your beliefs higher than anyone else's to the point where you persecute or belittle those who do not believe what you do when it comes to God.  It is arrogant to think that you have all the answers!  It is arrogant to use your faith as a superiority complex.  It is never arrogant to search for answers, to ask tough questions, and to seek a deeper understanding!  Ciao!

You're getting into some pretty deep issues here. \n\nFirst off, people who need to justify and affirm their own value need to lower the value of others by doing what you're talking about.  This gets into some pretty deep biology and psychology.  Since humans are social animals there is always a social heirarchy.  When someone is at the bottom or middle and wants to move up, this is one of the ways they can feel a little movement.  Immature people will also do this in retaliation to an attack on them by another immature person.  It just turns out to be a self licking ice cream cone.  \n\nI used to think that I had to respond to everything in my honor.  Now, by letting things roll off my back and exercising my personal boundaries, I live a life with a lot less stress or anxiety.  Life is great!

Some people get a lot of joy and peasure in helping others, and it's real admirable, and i gotta love them for it.\n\nBut i am selfish. I am happy doing what I wanna do, i don't wanna follow some moron's vision of happiness, i wanna be me all the time. I dont give two hoots what anyone thinks or wants if it doesnt fall in my view. I can compromise, but i don't often, why should i make myself unhappy?

People are mean because they have a low self-esteem and need to make others feel bad to make themselves fell better, more superior.
