Pride comes before a fall.
Hold on, if you've tried, and it hasn't worked, what do you want me to tell you to do? You want me to slag you off?

I dunno, and I doubt it. If you've tried and you can't change it, you haven't tried hard enough, in other words you don't want it enough. Until one day one of your friends slags you off or something. 
That should snap you out of it pretty quickly. Pride is good, arrogance is bad... simple as that. If people think you're being arrogant, stop. I can't give you more advice than "don't do it". Sorry.

This question is better addressed by a psychologist... I would say just try keep yourself rooted by remembering exactly what you said as frequently as possible while you are doing well

I tend to become arrogant, particularly when i succeed even moderatly. This in turn leads to failure/unhappyness, at which point i become level-headed again - and consequentlly begin to do well in life. - in this way i ocilate between arogance and low self esteem, - when the trick realy is to be confident.
Is there any way to change this? is there any way i can stop thinking that i'm better/worse than other people - believe me, i've tried!

Why do people always over ananlyse things. You are fine there is nothing wrong with this it's a personality trait, but nothing you should be concered about, unless it is extreme.
You may feel failure and unhappyness because you feel you could've done better if people tell you, you are arrogant ignore them. So many people confuse confidence for arrogance

I always thought that arrogance was a sign of insecurity, so perhaps tackling any feelings of insecurity you may be harbouring would be a good start to getting rid of arrogance.

That arrogance is a trait of its own, irrespective of whether someone is insecure.

Well that would certainly explain your demeanour.
I beg to differ though. Someone who is completely content with themselves and their achievements would not feel the need to show off about them, or consider themselves to be better than others. It's definitely a sign of insecurity.

Nothing wrong with a bit of arrogance.
It's annoying as hell though. And so many men seem to think it's an attractive quality. For the record, it isn't. In fact, it completely puts me off. It's ironic that arrogant people believe themselves to be superior to others and yet, arrogance makes me think that the person in question is rather pathetic and trying to compensate for some sort of personal shortcoming. Like the size of his
EDIT: Not that I'm saying that arrogance is limited to men!

Why need to resort to personal insults? Why can't you keep the argument above personal levels? Because you're thick? You know nothing about me so stop pretending that you do.
Perhaps where you're from (the middle east is it?) behaviour may be interpreted in different ways.
By the way, for many girls arrogance is an attractive quality, whether you like it or not

I don't think it makes me attractive, more like makes me an annoying pr**k.
I was sort of half-joking with that post anyway...but...i am arrogant, and, in my case at least, i don't think it stems from any particular shortcomings i might think i have.

Sheesh chill out man, it was just a joke. And for your information, I'm half Iraqi and half Irish, was born in the UK and have lived here all of my life, so don't try to dismiss my views just because of your skewed perception of my ethnic origin.
And I've never met any such girl, so permit me to be sceptical in that regard.
