I'm extremely arrogant, apparantly. while I think I only maintain total confidence in myself and my abilities, this comes across as arrogance. I don't mean to be arrogant. I don't think I'm any better than anybody else, exactly the opposite usually. and my self-confidence isn't as great anymore either. but still.

and I'm a know it all. I hate that. I can never accept somebody else's opinion if it's not backed up with a buncha research. just cuz I try to do that, doesn't mean I should expect it of others. I hate that about me.

those two together make me a bit of a jerk if I'm not careful about what I say. now, in efforts to not offend the person i'm talking to, it takes me 15 seconds to think of the best most inoffensive word to use when talking, and I hate that too!
