Am I being arrogant, overbearing or haughty? |
Sometimes we meet people who's behaviour can be annoying and irritating. They think they are better than you or they know it all.
There are a number of words in the English language we can use to describe them and our question this week is about three of them – arrogant, overbearing and haughty.
These words have subtle differences. An arrogant person can be unpleasantly proud and think they are more important than others.
A haughty person has a attitude of superiority and an overbearing person can be very confident and determined to tell others what to do.
Join Rob and Li in Question and Answer of the Week as they explain more about the words but not in a haughty style!
