Sometimes we meet people who's behaviour can be annoying and irritating. They think they are better than you or they know it all.
There are a number of words in the English language we can use to describe them and our question this week is about three of them – arrogant, overbearing and haughty.
These words have subtle differences. An arrogant person can be unpleasantly proud and think they are more important than others.
A haughty person has a attitude of superiority and an overbearing person can be very confident and determined to tell others what to do.
Am I being arrogant, overbearing or haughty?
