What makes people presumptuous?

Question

Is presumptuousness a trait that is manifested as something else? I know being presumptuous is related to being arrogant, and I think arrogance is a sign of insecurity. Bottom line is, what causes someone to be presumptuous? Is it insecurity? Low self-confidence? What is it a sign of?

Answer 1

It's a form of fear, afraid to go where they don't know what to do or say.  And that is a very bad thing for the welfare of society.  

Answer 2

There are basically two kinds of people... those who live within the box, and those who live without. Those who live within the box are not self-thinkers... I''m sure there are plenty of presumptuous types here, along with all the others.  Those who think outside of the box,  are not  held back by such barriers. I hope this answers you question... at least to some degree.
