I (19M) am arrogant in general, especially so when it comes to hooking up with girls. I'm at university so idk I know quite a lot of my friends are a similar way, even moreso than me.

In school, I was painfully anxious and shy, as well as really skinny and an easy target. Now that I've bulked up a bit and dress better, and in a new environment at university, my confidence has shot way up.

I'm just really arrogant with girls because this is how I see the best way to act is. The last 2 girls I got with, I was highly arrogant with and I pursued them because they seemed dumb and clueless (not trying to insult them, that's just how they seemed), they seemed dumb and stroked my ego, they'd say shit to me like ''You're so smart'' and ''You're so good looking'' and I'd eat that shit up, I'll say things like ''Yeah keep on going, tell me more lol'' because I'm using them to stroke my own ego. Most of this happens at parties where alcohol is involved, of course, but yeah.

Three girls who knew me from high school, saw me at uni (they go same uni) and they were talking about me, they were saying ''Can you believe how arrogant throwawayfebasm has become?? Who the hell does he think he is?''.

When I found out they said this, I feel like I took a drug. I was feeding on their negative comments, it made my ego even bigger.

My friends act similar to me but my sister (24F) has seen how I acts and she said I am being a asshole and need to stop. My mother (50F) also knows how I behave and she said I need to pack it in but my dad (52M) started laughing and said I'm a good lad, so idk what to do here, my guy friends and dad are fine with me an support me but my sister and mother don't like it, AITA?
