Has someone ever told you you're too cocky?

[12345677]

Long story short, I got approached by some coworkers basically saying I'm too cocky....walk arrogantly and cocky, and have a mentality that I can do everything myself. A quote I got was something along the lines of that I act like the successful black man, nice haircut, big house, white picket fence, beautiful wife, with $500 dollar shoes on and another one was that I'm focused in like a fortune 500 business CEO and am too rigid, and another was that I'm attractive and act like I know it and walk like I'm 10 feet tall and 300 pounds wide even though I'm 5'11, 135.

I never thought I gave off that perception but that shyt just has me like

Is there such a thing as being too cocky? I've gotten so much shyt done in my life that I'm satisfied with and still want more...and I feel like my mentality is what's gotten me there. I look up to the greats of a lot of crafts, especially sports....Kobe, MJ, etc., and all of them are like that. I don't even try to do that shyt, that's just how I am. Is being arrogant and cocky a killer flaw in life? I separate work from my actual social life. I'm wild as fukk with my homeboys, but at work I'm always about business....what do y'all think about this?

It's happened a lot the past few years actually. For some reason I always associated cocky with being a loudmouth so it took it in a weird way cuz I'm a chill dude
I asked the last chick why and she said I make it seem like I'm better than other people

Many times, I've been told that I'm cocky and condescending upon first meeting me, but, after getting to know me, they soon realize I'm cool....

Most that say that are typically peaseants

I kid. I kid.

My gf recently told me she thought I was "aloof" and "stuck up" prior to us having to pair up and work together.
And I actually thought I was being amiable.

I'm fortunate in some ways but I always do my best to remain even keel and humble.
Never really had a problem with them so I don't worry too much about misconceptions concerning my character.
Hell, I've jumped the gun and made judgements about people, too - good & bad.
Such is life.

Not cocky. Just that I got alotta pride (all the damn time) and I'm not approachable .

Ive experienced this for a long time. Smart ass/condescending/cocky/arrogant

Don't sweat it OP, it says more about the person interpreting your words/actions and how they feel about you than it actually does about yourself. In my experience I've seem my words get twisted around to no end. People will tell you themselves how wise they think you a re for instance and then when you offer constructive criticism all of a sudden you are a know it all or condescending them.

Nope. You're just so insecure that you are taking offense to what I say as opposed to actually taking it in. Personally, i'm broke paying off school debt for the next few months, 23 years old, no car, live at my parents home, have barely any bytches, clothing and a bunch of potential. I havent accomplished shyt to be arrogant and so why would I be. Nobody knows me better than myself i dont think. That's my take on it. I've learned to enjoy/embrace being the bad guy though.

 

[Yup]

Lost a friendship witg two girls over that. They said that I think that I am better than them. Cest la vie

Most people analyze things emotionally
I don't

Who's best is who's best
And if it's me you better believe I know it
At the same time I acknowledge and embrace my superiors
Anybody who complains about the excellence of another individual is a LAME bytch MADE LOSER//////
