😏 PRESUMPTUOUS (C1)
Have you ever met someone who acts as though they know better than everyone else?
That person might be presumptuous.

πŸ’‘ Meaning: Too bold or overly confident; behaving as if you have more authority, knowledge, rights, or importance than you actually do.

πŸ“ Example: "It was presumptuous of him to assume he would get the job without an interview."

πŸ“š More Examples:
β€’ She made the presumptuous assumption that everyone would agree with her.
β€’ It would be presumptuous to speak on behalf of the entire team.
β€’ His presumptuous attitude annoyed his colleagues.

🎯 Why It Matters: Being confident is generally positive. Being presumptuous means crossing the line into arrogance or entitlement by assuming too much without justification.

⚠️ Quick Tip: Confident people believe in their abilities. Presumptuous people assume privileges, authority, or knowledge they haven't earned.

βœ… Confident ❌ Presumptuous
