Wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrogance

Often people who are arrogant are not aware of their own behavior or
don't want to recognize they are arrogant. A person can be arrogant but
not show it externally to others due to their thoughts, actions and
emotions.

A strongly arrogant person will usually try to downplay other people's
achievements or ideas in order to make themselves appear better.
Arrogant people will even ignore or downplay good ideas from others, as
they cannot accept that others might have better ideas than themselves..
This makes reasonable communication difficult and arguments impossible
to resolve fairly as the arrogant person will not accept the other
person's point of view, no matter how logical/intuitive or correct it
is, because the arrogant person is really having an emotional argument
about their own arrogance.

Do you go along with all other cultural 'conventions'? I don't think so.

Maybe if you spend as much time correcting this problem as you do
annoying others with 'your' and a 'few' other dogma disciples it would help.
