Confidence?
Comment on Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait?

I wouldn’t say arrogant, but I’ve worked with a lot of Americans, and there’s something most of them have in common. I can’t quite put my finger on what, but it’s in the vicinity or arrogance. I simply don’t have the necessary English vocabulary to explain it properly. In short, I’ve found that most of them likes to swing their dick around and pull rank, even if someone else clearly has a better approach.

Maybe, but not necessarily in a good way. Unfounded, to the point of cocky, maybe.

They have a tendency to be cocky, headstrong, and ignorant of the greater world and people around them.
I have lost count of the amount of Americans I have met and spoken to that think them and their country are the centre of the universe. And I don’t mean that in a mocking or mean way - many of them were amazingly nice people but they legitimately did not know any better.
