About the mental phenomenon "impudence"


Manifestations of arrogance are little studied from the standpoint of psychophysiology. The article will show that this is an important mark of the stage of passing the process of forming any skills, a side effect of a skill that is not yet fully developed in the face of the urgent need to obtain the desired result with certain obstacles to this.

The word "arrogance" in everyday life is clearly shocking in nature, but should not interfere with the correct consideration of its psychophysiological background, and so far there is no reason to choose a more euphonious, "scientific" term for it.

Of course, what the development of individual manifestations of impudence into a style of impudent behavior can lead to goes far beyond the root causes, as it happens with literally all the makings of adaptive mechanisms of creativity: art and science, which, in turn, are qualitatively divided into many types. So the article will consider only the primary mechanism and its manifestations.

The current understanding of the meaning of the word .

As a rule, the word impudence is understood as impudent behavior that encroaches on generally accepted norms, an expression of protest by scandalous (outrageous) means.

Impudence (the original meaning of this word is “suddenness, speed, courage”, cf. the expression How dare you!) - impudence, impudence. Possible manifestations are heightened tone, loudness of voice, looking straight into the eyes, without looking away (piercing gaze, point-blank gaze), attempts to confuse the interlocutor with something, the use of lies, a smirk, sticking out thumbs and moving them. It may be the result of self-confidence, a high social position, a different feeling of superiority, despair, indignation, a sense of one's security. Typical reaction - irritation, contempt, opposition.

By the way, outrageous characteristic avant-garde, and partly modernist (one way or another, but any destructive) to art, but refers to "non-aesthetic, and even more so to non-artistic reactions." From the point of view of psychology, shocking is one of the forms of demonstrative behavior..

Arrogance and self-doubt as two polarities

...Impudence is something like shamelessness and bold self-confident insolence which borders on rudeness. Sometimes impudence has a positive connotation when the emphasis is on confidence in their actions, and not on their impudence. Nowadays self-doubt often contrasted with such "positive" arrogance.

With all this seemingly quite unambiguous understanding, the boundaries of the phenomenon turn out to be quite blurred, and the manifestations of arrogance themselves are controversial, if you do not consider how and why arrogance arises, at what time of development of the individual it begins to manifest itself and what is the reason for this. Moreover, the phenomenon has hardly been studied from the position of psychophysiology, although a lot of literature provides purely empirical studies of the manifestations of impudence in the description of the periodization of the development of an organism. And these manifestations concern not only the person.

A specialized complex of brain regions that controls social behavior, was first found in mammals, then in other terrestrial vertebrates, and even in fish. American biologists have shown that in different groups of vertebrates not only the structure of this complex is similar, but also the nature of the work of key genes in it. Those differences that still exist, to a greater extent affect the synthesis of signaling substances (neurotransmitters) and to a lesser extent - the distribution of receptors that respond to these substances. Apparently, already the last common ancestor of ray-finned fishes and terrestrial vertebrates had a socially oriented neuronal network, the main structural and neurochemical properties of which changed very slowly in the course of further evolution.

... The most surprising property of the SDM network is its evolutionary conservatism, that is, the extremely slow pace of evolutionary change...the basic socially oriented tasks of all vertebrates are similar: to attract good sexual partners, overcome competitors, improve their social status, raise more healthy offspring... This fundamental similarity of life aspirations probably creates the preconditions for the development of more or less universal socially neuronal structures in the course of evolution.

The commonality of the mechanisms for the manifestation of impudence and the existing factual materials make it possible to systematize and concretize the mechanism, thereby more correctly clarifying the formal definition. Which will be done in this article.

Here are some illustrative examples of their empirical articles.

When a child is rude and bickering

Yes, children sometimes tend to show impudence!... Most often, the reason for this behavior is that Small child simply tests on his parents what he learned from TV shows or heard from older children living in the neighborhood.

Even if your six-year-old child, when you put him to bed, will show great ability in an argument, proving that he is not tired at all, let him know that you know more. You can, of course, praise his manner of conducting a dialogue and promise that you will listen to him later, but at the same time indicate that you still know better when he goes to bed .... Families where children do not hesitate to approach their parents in order to calmly present their arguments on a particular issue, can be considered healthy families. However, even in such democratic families, where everyone can say what he thinks, there are situations when the last word must remain with the parents. If you find yourself in a situation in which you must show your power, then you need to immediately clearly determine that now is such a moment, and then decisively stop any discussion.

Hyperactivity - one of the most frequent behavioral dysfunctions that has a significant impact on the development of a child ... In the age group up to 7 years, behavioral disorders in the form of hyperactivity with attention disorders are accompanied by a delay in psychomotor development: a lag in the development of fine and gross motor skills, auditory and visual perception, etc. .d. There is a slight transition from tears to laughter. Age interests, including intellectual ones (for example, in the content and illustrations of books), may be underdeveloped. There are violations of social interactions, especially with adults: children do not keep their distance, are familiar, tend to show impudence. Peers often reject such children because of their impulsiveness and outbursts of anger, not being able to follow the rules in games, sowing discord..

Hyperactivity is characteristic not only for developmental pathologies caused by internal factors, but also as the initial period of developing adaptive skills in any area and at any age. In this case, problems with attention and assessment of the significance of what is perceived in the context of the development of new ideas will have the specifics of DVGA. The fact that this provokes manifestations of arrogance speaks of the conditions of still insufficient sophistication, insufficient confidence and inability to be prudent in these new circumstances.

The teenage crisis is not as straightforward as it seems at first glance. There are different manifestations, let's designate extreme cases: the teenage crisis of "excessive independence" (denial of authorities, negative behavioral manifestations, aggression, rudeness, the desire for independence in any way, stubbornness, arrogance, opposing oneself to others, etc.) and the teenage crisis " excessive dependence" (complete lack of independence, dependence on other people, infantilism in attitudes and behavior, the desire to be with everyone and "like everyone else", loyalty to authorities, the desire to be a "correct" child, a return to more childish interests, etc.)

Psychophysiology of the phenomenon .

Taking into account that the child goes through critical periods of development of brain structures, each of which is characterized by its own specificity of the best sensory activity (which is discussed on the Chronotop parallel site) and specific manifestations of mental reactions occur, it is possible to find the place of onset and development of manifestations of impudence.

The period of gullible learning is replaced by a period of playful trampling of authorities. However, the origins of arrogance arise earlier, when there is an urgent need (no matter what the conditioned one), or rather, there is a dominant motivation that determines the context of behavior requires the implementation of this behavior at all costs.

This state differs from the commonly used understanding of the word "arrogance" in that the action is not hindered by any motivation that contradicts it, and it is carried out as soon as it arises. Of course, a frustrated parent might think of a child who literally ruined his freshly changed linen as impudence. But arrogance is an active opposition to someone or something, rendered by a subject who has shown such arrogance without a sufficiently confident prediction of the consequences. Although the infant does not have any forecasts of consequences at all, he does not make a conscious volitional effort to overcome the internal conflict, his impudence is still involuntary.

In the period of game trampling of authorities, there is already a baggage of perceived norms of behavior, which often comes into conflict with the current dominant motivation, and there is still no sure forecast of how the attempt to break the norm will end. If motivation exceeds the blocking effect of norms, it becomes possible to display impudence in behavior in all cases when there is no time or ability to comprehend the situation more creatively.

At the end of gullible learning for the entire period of playing trampling on authorities, a person shows more decisive, revolutionary options for testing behavior with still very little life experience, which cuts off many of these options, which, of course, ends badly in many attempts to gain extreme experience. This dependence is smoothly corrected by the sad experience of unsuccessful attempts, leaving more conservative options viable. (see Revolutions are in vain in young countries)

So, arrogance is an attempt to take active actions 1) under the conditions of a motivational dominant, 2) in conflict with previous experience, with 3) significant uncertainty (lack of a confident forecast) and 4) lack of time or comprehension skills. If the dominant exceeds the uncertainty and taboo of morality, then the action is performed.

It seems that such a definition, which formalizes the identified mechanisms of the psyche (a triggering stimulus in the context of active motivation that exceeds the risk of predicted consequences accessible to awareness), most fully correlates with the current understanding of the word "impudence".

Insolence is always an act of conscious will, requiring volitional effort to overcome the restraining factors of previous experience, if it has not already become a style of unconscious behavior.

Insolence is a step dictated not by reason (creative understanding of the situation with finding an acceptable course of action in terms of risks), but by an acute subjectively conditioned need for action (see Dangers). This is aggression, first of all, in relation to one's previous experience.

An impudent action, which ended successfully with the desired results, receives a positive assessment (“impudence is the second happiness”), and at this the dominant is exhausted, freeing the area of ​​awareness.

In case of failure, a negative experience is acquired that blocks such actions, but the motivational dominant may remain, more inclining to creative, rather than extreme, finding a behavior option.

In the case of a delay in the action of the dominant, it can exist for years and develop as an unsolved, but very urgent problem, acquiring a multitude of subjectively produced assumptions, of which those that promise the desired result have a clear preference. This is the way of growth of subjectivisms, inadequacies. This is the way of development of the fixed idea in conditions of conflict with the carriers of unacceptable views, and, accordingly, with all the attributes of the development of paranoid schizophrenia, with obligatory conspiracy theories and with increased chances of irreparable mental disorders.

In attempts to justify the desired idea, with insufficient determination or the ability to implement it, there is more and more absurdity, obvious from an outside point of view, vices of thinking that are not noticed by the bearer of an important idea.

Examples of manifestations of arrogance and its consequences .

Anyone who raised a child has faced the situation of the impossibility of explaining something reasonably to him if the child still lacks the intermediate concepts necessary for understanding, but he really wants something to the point of impatience. There is a feeling of powerlessness, despite all the wisdom of an adult. With a persistent attempt to reason and explain something, with active arrogance of bickering, such states sometimes arise that a feeling of absurdity of one’s own understanding of the situation is added to impotence, that with accumulated fatigue and endless attempts to explain and reciprocal bickering can actually damage the psyche.

The child believes that the parent is wrong in some important matter for him, tries to brazenly challenge the correctness with aggressive attempts to impose his naive ideas. In this case, accordingly, any reasoning arguments are useless. Two conflicting parties in this way differ in that the more experienced one easily sees the essence of the delusions of the naive, but cannot explain this due to the insufficiency of intermediate ideas in the naive. The impudent one, with the power of his motivating dominant, weeds out everything that contradicts it, strengthens all the forecasts that are positive for his idea, comes up with arguments in support, not noticing (not wanting to notice) the contradictory. In the end, his confidence turns out to be no less than the confidence of an experienced person, despite the obvious inadequacy and untestedness of the idea in practice.

Many examples of impudence are easy to find in the statements of naive oppositionists. Thus, they ardently convince themselves and others that there were 200,000 participants on the "March of Millions" on June 12, 2012, without noticing that the capacity of the venue does not exceed 50,000, and the indication of infidelity only causes attempts in any way to justify, first of all, in their words, this figure and transfer the viciousness of impudent logic to opponents, attributing to them exactly what they themselves are not correct.

It is characterized by impudence about Onishchenko, where the author is in a shocking form ( G. Onishchenko banned Russians eat sushi) complains that the head physician of the country does not recommend eating sushi in a restaurant - as a result of checking these restaurants for compliance with sanitary standards for controlling fish for helminths. As an additional argument against the top specialist of the country, who has gone out of his mind, the author cites Onishchenko's recommendation, which he considers deadly, not to be afraid to use GMOs. The author, obviously for specialists, proved himself to be a complete layman in the issues raised, far from Onishchenko's level of understanding, but some features of Onishchenko's speech gave him grounds to suspect him of absurdity and malicious intent. All signs of impudence in this example are present.

One can cite and recall many examples of the manifestation of impudence in relation not to the opponent, but to inanimate deterrents. If you really need to jump over the fast current, but there is no certainty that you will jump to the other side, but you really need to, then this state of aggressive arrogance may arise with the commission of risky actions. The experience gained will correct the ideas about the possible, but if you do not decide, but develop these ideas, for example, in a strong desire to fly with the effort of thought (or something paranormal), then a complex of inadequacies will arise that provoke multiple manifestations of arrogance that are already difficult to correct from - for the developed motivational dominant (fixed ideas).

Almost always, people who have reached some heights in the development of professional skills are in many other ways perceived as all ordinary, unremarkable, even repulsive people and, moreover, often show signs that are perceived negatively (an eccentric professor, a scientist who has lost his mind, etc.). .p.), which are sufficient grounds for them to be challenged by those who in this area do not have any comparable ideas in depth, but have a pronounced motivation to aggressively challenge the undesirable.

Benefit-harm.

Dissatisfaction with the existing, generating creativity, is positive for adaptability not only of the individual, but also of other members of the species connected by a common culture, but if this is combined with a motivational dominant that requires immediate action or manifestation of one’s attitude in order to influence others, then an aggressive attempt arises. subordination of one's will, just as the will has already subordinated to the dominant the previous personal experience in conflict with it. But the uncertainty generated by the lack of experience in such actions carries a very high probability of inadequacy, i.e. in most cases, such actions will be to the detriment of the general adaptability of the species. This is somewhat reminiscent of the situation with mutations, the vast majority of which are harmful and only a few, which turn out to be fortunate by chance, provide an evolutionary advantage.

In view of the overwhelming majority of inadequate outcomes of impudent actions, impudence is generally perceived negatively, therefore, an indication of impudence is perceived as an insult, although this should be a signal to reason for the insolent person.

A revolutionary is a carrier of a motivational dominant who has overcome its conflicts in himself and is trying to do it in relation to others. The results of revolutions have the most serious consequences for all those who did not share the convictions and all those who unwittingly found themselves under the pernicious influence of the inadequacy of ideas. If the desire for innovation is mainly characteristic of a relatively early age, impudence can manifest itself at any age if the conditions for its occurrence are met.

In any country, at any level of democracy and prosperity, there is a percentage of people who, in certain situations, find themselves in conditions conducive to the manifestation of arrogance. It would not be correct to call them full-fledged oppositionists. These are naive oppositionists or impudent ones.

Russian hooligans deported from Poland by court order

Russians found guilty of hooliganism are being deported from Poland with being included in the "black list" of the Schengen countries... The riots in Warsaw, according to the Polish authorities, were provoked by local hooligans.... In total, according to the results of clashes before and after the match, Poland - Russia detained 184 people: 156 Poles, 24 Russians, one Hungarian and one Spaniard... Among the detained Russians is a man who is suspected of throwing a flare on the field during the Russia-Czech Republic game on June 8. Then, due to an unsuccessful attempt by the stewards to detain the alleged offender, a fight broke out between the fans and the guards in the under-tribune room..

How to recognize in yourself and others manifestations of arrogance?

Unexpected manifestations of ardor in considering the problem that motivates the arrogance of manifestations of this ardor can surprise the person who shows impudence in itself, make him perplexed, but not abandon the idea.

As already noted, from the point of view of sophisticated people, naivety is instantly recognized on the basis of experience and, accordingly, impudence is recognized. There are no problems here: the teacher immediately sees the student's mistake, no matter how he justifies himself. And he usually has sufficient skill and ability to overcome brazen resistance.

Pay attention to their conversations. Don't eavesdrop, but when they speak to you or those around you, listen carefully. Do they only talk about themselves? Do they get angry or annoyed when they stop being the center of attention? These are quite serious signs of arrogance.

  • Arrogance and self-satisfaction often simply indicate a lack of life experience and the concern that those who have more of it "have advantages over them." Instead of learning more, asking questions, and learning (which they perceive as a weakness), sassy people usually do general conclusions from their limited experience and try to impose their narrow point of view on everyone else.
  • Out of envy of your accomplishments or lifestyle, some may flaunt their superiority over you in what they think they are better at or because of what they have and you don't.
  • Brazen people have a strong need to look good. If you make them look bad - even the slightest remark - their reaction is usually very aggressive. For example, if you question (or they think you question) their appearance, intelligence, athletic ability, or anything else related to their image.
  • Challenge their view of the world. Don't be aggressive - just be skeptical and inquisitive. If it upsets them, try to gauge the strength of their anger. If it's minimal, they've just had a lousy day. But if they're furious, they feel like you're questioning their "ideal little world." Namely, the presence of such determines arrogance and arrogance.

    • At one point or another, people realize that the world does not revolve around them. Insolent people counter this in their own way: they create an atmosphere that revolves around them and get angry if they are reminded of reality.
    • Obscurity scares arrogant people, because it suggests imperfection, change, or lack of confidence (realities that we fight as best we can). That is, instead of accepting that our world is unpredictable and sometimes something does not happen the way we want it, an arrogant person tries to control everyone and everything. And this, in turn, is an impossible mission.
    • Reality can hurt; therefore, insolent people are not very prone to reflection and introspection, thus they do not notice their own flaws. They may also appropriate the fruits of other people's achievements instead of taking into account the contributions of other people and circumstances.
  • Find out the value of their friendship. No need to poke your nose into other people's business or gossip, but if one day they are with someone - inseparable friends, and the successor already hate each other, this is a sign that they have many friends before the first trouble. It is also a sign of arrogance and arrogance, because it is difficult to be a good friend to someone who is fixated on himself. Arrogant people have a need to look good, and an effective way to achieve this is self-sufficiency. Good friend always obliged to help, therefore they do not tolerate the thought of reliable friendship.

    • Oddly enough, insolent people often cannot understand why they do not have reliable and ready to support friends.
  • How do they treat those who are not like them? In other words, how do they treat people of other backgrounds, cultural backgrounds, or those who see the world differently? If the attitude is essentially negative, then they are either indifferent to others, or tend to avoid those who oppose their illusory world, which is focused exclusively on them. This can be determined by the general features of their personality and by the people with whom they communicate.

    • Many arrogant people seriously believe that there is only one correct opinion, and this opinion is their own. This is the defense mechanism of their false notions or illusory world.
  • What is the essence of their personality? Pay attention to how they act, talk and use their social status. Do they have "coolness" in its generally accepted sense? Maybe they are talkative? Do they act like they own everything or like "a player with no chance of winning?" Are they very worried about their own image?

    • Many insolent people have a fake charm that no one seems to be able to figure out. But insolent people are usually just happy to show their hard-hitting side to those they don't like.
    • When they act violently, their friends usually ignore it or simply do nothing to stop it. They are afraid that this may anger their so-called "friend".
  • Mention those who, how much you you know, I like too. Not to start a conflict, but to assess their rivals, irritants and hostility. If their censure is justified and moderate, most likely they cannot be called insolent. If they immediately demonstrate harshness of judgment, feel free to classify them as an arrogant type.

    • For the most part, insolent people perceive people they don't like as a threat to their ideal world. The more they hate someone, the more dangerous that person is to their land of illusion. And, in turn, the greater the threat, the stronger the criticism.
  • Ask around to find out what they have to say about you. If you hear bad things about yourself, maybe they just don't like you. If they smile in your face but say nasty things behind your back like it's their favorite hobby, they probably have pride issues.

    • Insolent people usually subconsciously know that they don't have really good friends. They make up for "quality quantity", creating impression that they have many friends. So they just insult their "trophy" friends when they don't see it.
  • Be responsive. Do not judge strictly insolent people, or you risk getting the same negative views on the world as they do. Arrogant people often try to hide their weaknesses and fears. Much of the need for a strong and undeniable self-presentation comes from deep-seated pain. Obviously, you should also not succumb to their assurances of superiority over you. Be principled and detached. But you can make contact and see sincere goodness in them, praise real virtues, and not imaginary talents. Sometimes, if you get past the roughness, you can set the person free and let him be himself, not block himself so violently.

    • Huge vulnerability can hide behind arrogance. This leads to overcompensation aimed at suppressing vulnerability. For example, if an insolent person grew up poor but later became rich, he or she becomes a snob about everything they can afford, because they cover up the fear of poverty from the past.
  • How many proverbs and sayings there are in the Russian language with the word impudence: "Impudence is the second happiness", "Give free rein to the impudent - he will want more." This word is mentioned several times even in the Bible, but what does it mean?

    Meaning of the word

    The noun "impudence" is a word derived from the adjective "impudent". Means a character trait akin to impudence and audacity. Manifested in a direct look at point-blank range, raising his voice or tone, an attempt to confuse the interlocutor in any way. It is most often the result of impunity and a sense of security, a sense of superiority over others due to high social status, self-confidence or despair.

    In other people, arrogance causes contempt, irritation or a desire to resist.

    From the old Russian "impudence" the word "impudence" came from. The meaning of the word then was somewhat different - "quick, fast." Knowing this, you already look at the established expression in a different way: “Look, how fast!” You can safely say: “Look, how arrogant!” - and the value will not change.

    The main signs of arrogance

    Who is most often called an insolent? After all, this quality has very wide and blurred boundaries. Some call arrogance impudence, while others call it excessive confidence.

    So, an impudent person is one who is characterized by the following qualities:

    • complete disregard for the opinion of society, the norms established by it, if the latter stand in the way of the goal;
    • without a shadow of embarrassment, a person can take what does not belong to him, if he wants;
    • The insolent puts his interests above all else. He has no love for children or women. If a person needs it, he will "go over their heads";
    • if a remark is made to an arrogant person, he will remain silent or begin to be rude, but he will not change his tactics of behavior;
    • completely absent a sense of shame, and do not care what you think;
    • persistent and demanding, there is also the expression "takes impudently";
    • constantly interferes in the affairs of others, while imposing a point of view, even when he is not asked.

    Being arrogant - good or bad?

    Of course, if arrogance is something like a lack of shame or self-confident impudence, then it is bad for those around you. But today, when the world belongs to self-confident people, the word "impudence" also means complete confidence in the actions performed by a person. The main thing is not to be arrogant towards opponents. In this vein, this concept has a positive connotation.

    The antagonism of "positive" arrogance will be self-doubt and fear of taking a step towards changing life. At its core, arrogance and self-doubt are sides of the same coin.

    Uncertainty and arrogance: are they close?

    So what does the word "arrogance" mean? Its meaning becomes more understandable if we decompose arrogance as a manifestation into its components. It immediately becomes clear that an insolent person is often just an insecure person. Only in order to prove to himself and others that this is not so, an insecure person begins to show impudence.

    He has an exaggerated sense of "importance", and in order to confirm to himself that he is irreplaceable and priceless, the insolent (read - insecure) seeks to humiliate others in order to exalt himself in his own eyes. Someone to humiliate? And the locker will come, let's kick it, there is nothing to stand in the way of such an "important" person. And the insolent asserts himself out of fear of humiliation. Note that an insolent person will never humiliate a person if he feels strength and power in advance. slows him down.

    When arrogance enters into a confrontation with wisdom, it is like a meeting between an elephant and a Pug. A wise elephant does not need to assert himself, he is confident in himself, in his strength. That is why he is so calm. And the mongrel always barks, but inside her every hamstring trembles. She, overcoming fear, asserts herself.

    The insolent cannot understand one thing for himself, that the “strength” that rests on the “weakness” of others is worthless. In fact, strength lies in the ability to achieve one's own without pressure and humiliation of others, weaker ones. Insolence is a complete misunderstanding of yourself and your needs.

    Why do we get annoyed by someone else's arrogance?

    It is an irritant for everyone that lives in us and we do not like or are forbidden. In other words, the impudence of another person irritates us, because it lives in ourselves. We ourselves would be glad to assert ourselves at the expense of others, but we do not like it when they assert themselves at our expense.

    But being insolent is not so bad if we hold back this trait in ourselves, suppress it and let it out in the form of confidence. As soon as an understanding of oneself comes, someone else's impudence, the meaning of which becomes clear to us, ceases to irritate us.

    What benefit can

    If “positive” impudence lives in you, it can even help you in some way. There are five aspects positive impact this quality on you and your life:

    1. Your self-esteem will rise. Often, public opinion and cliches hammered in in childhood prevent a person from starting to act. And if there is also a lack of self-confidence, then the fear of getting the opinion that you are just an insolent person is holding back a person from moving forward. Spontaneous actions help to increase appreciation in your own eyes (the main thing is that actions are not directed to the detriment of another person).
    2. Your situation will improve. Having committed, we then often reproach ourselves, feel guilty, but time passes, and we understand that this particular one was the most correct. So, arrogance is what helped to solve a situation that was simply unrealistic to solve in another way.
    3. Life starts to change. Read on and you will notice how many examples there are when such “arrogant”, thoughtless, actions performed on intuition led to a radical change in the entire course of life. Career began to go uphill, prosperity grew, success came. And people just did what others considered unacceptable. That is, they were insolent.
    4. The desired is achieved. Often people discuss other people's requests. It so happened that in our time it is considered: to ask means to be humiliated, and if you ask also for yourself, then this is simply unacceptable arrogance. But successful people look at the request in a completely different way. You just need to ask the right people in the right way.
    5. The emergence of perseverance in action. Often, our perseverance is taken by others for arrogance. But is it right? Even the Bible says, "Knock, it will be opened to you." And if the desired result is obtained and you celebrate the victory, then is the opinion of others so important?

    Is it worth it to be rude?

    If we consider the word "impudence", which is defined from the point of view of the above aspects, then the word "insolent" thrown at the back will no longer sound like an insult, but like a recognition - you are on the right track, moving towards your goal. And people have always condemned and discussed those who stand out from the crowd.

    If you know that you are acting for the good (your own) and do not harm others, then what do you care about someone else's opinion? Just move towards your goal and don't be afraid to take risks.

    Previously, according to moral standards, it was customary to be modest. This quality in children was brought up by Soviet films. But time does not stand still, customs have changed. To remain unbending, firm, to defend one's own point of view is one thing. Being arrogant is another thing. And although we all understand what this quality is, it is not easy to give it a clear definition.

    We often hear about happiness, but we hear no less often that happiness at number 2 is impudence. Be that as it may, but this concept has many definitions, and too, impudent individuals actually achieve success in life. What is the secret?

    What is impudence

    Often people are faced with situations where others violate moral norms and rules of conduct, trying to get a benefit. They pass without a queue, when the rest have been standing for several hours, taking away the benefits from a person on the rights of strength. So it turns out that impudent individuals solve problems in an easier way.

    First of all, you need to understand what is meant by this term. People who go forward, no matter what, are considered arrogant. They do not stand on ceremony with the rest and are active. Signs of an impudent personality are as follows:

    ignoring the foundations, norms, opinions of society, if this is an obstacle to the goal;
    an impudent person easily takes what does not belong to her;
    arrogant individuals consider their own interests above the rest. They do not make concessions, do not wait for anyone, do not stand on ceremony with children and do not respect age. They need to get something - they get it;
    even if others are indignant, the person does not change his behavior: he is silent or rude, but the actions remain the same;
    man has no shame. He doesn't care what others think;
    arrogant individuals make unreasonable demands, show;
    insolent people get into the affairs of others, impose their opinion;
    they are impudent, trying to beat off all obstacles with rudeness.

    The concept of "arrogance" is perceived by everyone individually. For some, this is a positive feature, for others - on the contrary, and still others are insolent. Some people are willing to be arrogant in order to survive. But someone does not understand the meaning of the word, considering it a synonym for impudence and rudeness. Audacity is good in moderation, but in small amounts. They are not born arrogant, they become so.

    Brazen behavior has advantages, but for those who act like this. This is not strange, because everything that the insolent person does is for his own benefit. The advantage lies in the fact that these people go to any lengths to achieve their goals. But the minus is not that these people have a goal, but in the way of achieving it. The difference is that insolent people go ahead, unlike "ordinary" people.

    Courage and arrogance have different meanings, but complement each other. noble, and arrogant - poorly educated. But without this character trait, arrogance cannot exist.

    On the one hand, such actions can be considered correct. After all, if you stomp on one point, then it is difficult to achieve success. And arrogant behavior becomes positive quality personalities in this way. On the other hand, in order to remain arrogant, you will have to not only swim against the current, but “walk over corpses.” So arrogance actually acts as a second happiness, since it is condemned by those who are left behind.

    Insolence is not a vice?

    Have you, for sure, happened when someone went out of line, mentally add a question mark to the phrase “impudence is the second happiness”? Or does everyone believe that this is true in reality, but due to certain circumstances, such “happiness” remains indecent and unattainable for us?

    Let's see if it's as negatively impudent behavior as most think about it. And where is the line when the courage of actions is spoken of as arrogance. First think about your own attitude towards impudent behavior: is this a second happiness for you, a negative trait or a useful quality? Someone considers it a vice, but others are thinking about how to develop it in themselves.

    Audacity is not a vice? Or is it still negative? Many of us were bolder in early age until we are made to feel guilty. To kids, impudent behavior is forgiven, it is understood as immediacy. But then it manifests itself in unceremonious behavior, rudeness, and the framework becomes narrow. In later life, everyone sets the framework for arrogant behavior for himself. But how wide they turn out to be depends on upbringing.

    What does the term "arrogance" mean? This is the confidence that you deserve the best. In a similar context, everything does not sound too negative. After all, there is nothing wrong with wanting to get the most. No wonder it is believed that arrogance is able to take the city. If there were no daring personalities in the world, it is not known what world history would be like.

    The situation is different, if a person does not see boundaries, there is no limit to impudent deeds. If it means loss of respect for others, then impudence becomes impudence. And then it is important to know how to deal with such behavior.

    How to resist arrogance

    More often, the one whose actions are regarded as shameless does not even know that he is doing something that is unacceptable for others. It turns out that he did not exalt himself, but we place ourselves lower. The peak of impudence is a relative concept. But it happens that we meet with obvious rudeness, but do not understand how to resist impudence:

    first try to understand whether there is actually disrespect for others in the person's actions. If arrogant behavior is the result of disrespect, fear not. Especially if after what happened you think of possible answers for a long time;
    often rudeness put on. It arises from. If you notice such a note in the actions of a person, then you can more easily perceive the desire to cover up weak points with arrogance and rudeness;
    try to avoid rude people, or keep interaction with them to a minimum.

    And if you encounter arrogance all the time, then think about what is wrong with yours. Most likely, you are in the position of a victim, and everyone easily sits on your neck. Hams feel vulnerable people.

    How to develop arrogance

    As an example, the speaker from ancient rome Cicero. As a child, he was often sick, suffered from stuttering. But by the age of 30 he was able to become such that not only the people, but also the politicians of Rome listened to him. Based on this, it is concluded that arrogance in the form of a punching personality trait develops in every person. If you are thinking about how to develop impudence in yourself, then pay attention to such things:

    remember situations where you did not have the audacity to express your opinion to the face of another person, and this caused a loss of profit. Examples are simple: the queue to the doctor, where self-confident people push you away, the defense of a diploma at the university, where you did not have the strength to prove the correctness of the commission. Try to imagine what to do in such a situation in order to benefit and remain in the eyes of others as a worthy person;
    develop speech, work on it. Without knowledge of rhetoric, it will not work to defend one's own point of view. Most of all, this influence is noticeable in the work of lawyers. The winner will not be the one who has more knowledge of the laws, but the one who expresses his thoughts and position well, is able to entice people and incline to his point of view. The same is true in politics. Bills can be promoted by those deputies who are able to prove their importance to others;

    develop . Self-confidence, regardless of the opinion of society, is a positive quality of the individual. There is less self-doubt and self-doubt, when a person does not believe in himself, then no one will believe. Every day go to the mirror and inform yourself that everything will work out, because you are always right, you know how to act;
    Fear less, act more. Don't be afraid to speak up and take risks. Everyone makes mistakes, but those who have made more achieve victory more often. First of all, experience matters. If a person stumbled once, then the second time he will not do the same. In addition, the risk gives a minimal chance of winning. Inaction is only a loss. Do everything through "I can't". Only in this way can success be achieved;
    Be who you want to be, not who you are. All people have idols, role models. They think that they also want to become just as popular, talented, confident. But the days go by and nothing changes. Don't waste precious minutes. If you want to quit smoking - do it, you want to become successful person- you look like this. and a successful businessman are not able to spend the day in idleness. They will make good use of their time. Become an improved version of yourself. And if a person believes in his own strength, then this faith is transferred to others.

    From this follows the conclusion that arrogance is not in vain called the "second happiness." The owner of this character trait is usually happy, regardless of the opinions of others. And the rest is a factor that follows from this. Stay strong, believe in yourself, say more often that you can do anything. Only in this way is the character and spirit tempered, only in this way will you come to success in business and undertakings. This is the path of a successful person. Ask yourself the question, are you ready to follow it, will you continue to kill your own destiny with “cultural” modesty?
