Are you called arrogant? is it bad?

Arrogance is defined as an overbearing sense of pride for one’s self.

My 'self' is only composed of my past and present ideas and beliefs, and is constantly changing.

I treat life like a big brainstorm and sometimes say things that sound like they are full of pride, aggression, and dominance. I want to be proven wrong, so that I can grow. 

To do that I can come on strong and sometimes piss people off. But debate, discussion, and argument is just a game to me. I can’t help but not take this silly life very seriously. Others do, and they call me arrogant! wow! :3

Personally, I’m tempted to argue that the idea of true arrogance has lost much weight in our 'everyone gets a medal' society. I doubt, is arrogance only a 'slave class'?

My two cents;

Confidence can be confused with arrogance. It is in my opinion only arrogance if a factual untruth is being upheld. Confidence and questioning can be easily interpreted as arrogance but as you stated you are willing to learn and therefore, adjust your believes. A knowing (misuse) of confidence therefore would in my opinion be arrogance.

How others perceive it, the paradox often is the accuser is guilty =)

Last, I believe arrogance to be a negative, confidence a positive.
