This month's insecurity questions whether insecurity itself does indeed breed arrogance.

I found this little gem in my travels on the internets. It's a quote from someone named Daniel Saint (I'm not sure who this is) but it got me thinking. Does insecurity breed arrogance? I know insecurity can be the root of a lot of unpleasant things, but arrogance? Really? My dad used to work with someone that he said had an "inferiority complex." At the time, I didn't know what he meant but maybe I do now (having worked with a profound narcissist several times in my life). I wonder if any of our insecurities with writing work themselves out in such a profound way. Are there any arrogant writers out there that can answer this question?

Thanks for stopping by.
