  • Try telling someone that the problematic behavior they're doing is right and morally good, like, "You're totally right to laugh at this person's pain." Saying it like this can make them realize they're actually in the wrong.
  • There's no point in making fun of or belittling an arrogant person. They're often hardest on themselves, and making fun of them will only make their behavior worse.
  • Remember that arrogant people are never as sparkling or perfect as they try to be, and there's no reason to be jealous of them.
