Let’s face it, nowadays if you’re not arrogant you’re nothing. That’s why today we want to come to the aid of all those who despite numerous attempts have not yet managed to become masters of arrogance. Here is a practical manual in a few points that will help you achieve the desired result.
#Language
Language is obviously the first thing to work on to become sufficiently arrogant. You have to try to use obsolete words as often as possible, or at least abuse technical, scientific, or uncommon terms. The fundamental thing is to pronounce such terms as naturally as possible, in such a way as to make your interlocutor feel inferior and unprepared in handling words that are very common to you. If you have to tell a friend that someone has dazzled you with deception, make an effort and use the form “Mi ha abbacinato artatamente”. Make him feel the weight of his ignorance.
#Gestures
Another cornerstone for the foundation of a philosophy of arrogance is gestures. When sitting, you need to cross your legs and rest both hands on your knee. When you are listening to the arguments of your interlocutor, you must slightly raise your chin to show confidence in exposing your jugular. If you do not agree with something, do not interrupt him, push back a lock of your hair in annoyance or adjust your sleeves, subliminally send the message that his arguments are worth less than the cufflinks on your shirt. When you have to speak, or rather pass judgment, use your index finger like an evil teacher would use a wand to hit the hands of terrified students. That is exactly the type of relationship you should aim for with your friends.
#Clothing
Even the clothes to wear are a fundamental element of the path. Clearly following fashion would be a blasphemy. You have to dress classic and elegant, without exaggerating and showing the right interest in clothing. Decide on some fixed points; wear only Voile shirts with Button-down collar combined with narrow-necked ties. It will be very satisfying to ask someone disgusted how they can leave the house with a shirt with an Italian collar. Accessories are also important. Never use scarves, only foulards. Never smoke cigarettes, only Pipe or snuff.
#Answers
The answers you give in society must always be pronounced with a haughty tone. If someone asks you for an opinion on a novel, a film or a work of the mind, never respond with a personal opinion – such as “I didn’t like the show” – but overuse objective sentences such as “That film is aberrant” or “Shit: that’s the only word that comes to mind when I think of that novel”. If you disagree with someone during a discussion, avoid like the plague sentences such as “I don’t agree with what you say” and instead overuse sentences such as “for what you said you would be condemned without appeal by the court of reason”. Don’t forget the tone.
#Facial Expressions
Perhaps this is the most important point. There are some world champions of arrogance who can achieve extraordinary results just with facial expressions, without even saying a word. First of all, you have to train for many hours in front of the mirror in an attempt to achieve that typical look that seems to say “you all smell like shit except me”. To do this, you need to develop a certain independence of movement between your eyebrows, twist your mouth while snorting at the same time, and make semicircles upwards with your pupils. If you find it difficult, try to emulate those who have done it. Just turn on Rai 2 in the late evening on Sunday to find splendid examples.
#Inactivity
Finally, it is necessary to do absolutely nothing in life, so as not to risk exposing oneself to criticism. The only goal must be to try to rise to criticize others. For this reason, being positioned higher in space is important. For those who are not endowed with a notable height, I recommend purchasing a sedan chair in imitation gold, on e-bay you can find many at a low price with a set of slaves for transport.
Now all you have to do is put the advice into practice and get on everyone’s nerves.
