Squidward Tentacles is by far one of the most bitterly arrogant cartoon characters of our generation. his different personality makes Squidward stick out amongst the usual happy cartoon characters. Because of this, I feel Squidward is the perfect cartoon to tell my readers what it is like to be arrogant.
1. You hate people who are too stupid or not worthy of your presence
A main reason that Squidward can not tolerate Spongebob is because he thinks that Spongebob is too childish for him to be around. Arrogant people do not like to be around people who are not as "smart" and "mature" as them.
2. You think you are great at everything
Squidward thinks that he is great at playing the clarinet, painting, and dancing. However, the show makes it apparent that he is horrible at all of those hobbies. Arrogant people always think that they are perfect at everything and do not realize when they are bad.
3. You love looking at your "gorgeous" face in the mirror
Squidward thinks he is extremely handsome and way better looking than Spongebob. Arrogant people are blind to their imperfections and see themselves as perfection.
4. You get annoyed easily
Squidward Tentacles has the profound ability of getting annoyed by the littlest things. He has even gotten annoyed just by Spongebob walking inside the same room as him. Arrogant people have the ability to get annoyed by others who are not as smart as them.
5. You work extremely hard in order to maintain your state of perfection
An admirable skill that Squidward has is his dedication to regularly practice his hobbies in order to make sure he does not lose his "talent." Although arrogant people think that they are the best, they do not let their high opinions of themselves stop them from rehearsing, because they are aware that practice makes perfect.
6. You ignore others opinions of you
Another admirable skill that arrogant people have is that they do not get hurt by others' harsh words about them. Although, sometimes it is good to listen to other people, Squidward rarely ever gets upset when people try to bring him down.
7. You try to make your competition looks extremely bad compared to you
Although Squidward, thought that he was better than Spongebob, he would often spend a lot of time to make sure everyone in Bikini Bottom knows that he is way better than him. Often, arrogant people try hard to make sure that people know that their competition is terrible compared to them.
