arrogance
It's not the first time it's happened. I therefore think there is no doubt I still give off that impression.
From the feedback I've gotten over the years people often have seen my behaviour as being arrogant.
Arrogance can take the form of fierce competitiveness, bragging about oneself and putting others down. An arrogant person according to dictionary.com is: having or showing an exaggerated opinion of one's own importance, merit, ability, etc; conceited; overbearingly proud.
I was definitely like that up to my twenties as I was feeling very insecure about my abilities and self-worth.
These days however, I am more aware of what I can and can't do and am making an effort recognise that everyone is special and talented in their own way.
