A little bit of arrogance may seem okay, but when exaggerated, it can easily escalate to ugliness. I have given examples below, which describe arrogance, but it's in your capabilities to decide to use the example that best fits your scene.
- She swaggered/strutted into the room (A dominating body language that’s more on the cocky side)
- She pointed a finger at his chest as she walked off
- He waved her off with a flick of the finger
- Dropping names out of context
- Can laugh at others but never at themselves
- Can’t admit their errors
- Can’t spend time with themselves
- Can’t be kind to themselves let alone others
- She had an answer for everything. Such was her arrogance
- He interrupted her talk, frequently
- She leaked out a cocky grin at him
- Her eyes were filled with disdain as her gaze shifted to him
- He blasted/mouthed-off his contestants for no real reason
- Always tries to have a strong posture when they want to show off
- Subtle eye contact but not for too long (like a glance with intent)
- Chin tilted up (Jutting chin)
- Head held up high
- Standing with their arms crossed across the chest (standoffishness during work etc)
- Hands placed on the hips
- Leans in to others than meet them on their level
- His thinking or personality is rigid (lack of confidence)
- Never tries to look at things for what they are (their rigidness is the culprit)
- Not even keeping in mind what sort of facial expressions you’re making; not bothering to read others facial expressions
- Eye rolling
- Half-closed eyes
- Raised eyebrows
- Pursing lips
- Head tilt (prolonged); exposing the neck
- Looking down, face turned away
- Leaning backward in the chair
