Often the difference

That often is an important distinction here. I've definitely had people very confidently creep me the fuck out with their weird bullshit. Honestly sometimes it makes it so much worse.

or it drifts into arrogance, then you're attracting an entirely different type of person

True, however, while arrogance requires a lot of confidence, confidence doesn't need to be arrogant. The best bet is to laugh at yourself, not put others down. It's far from simple, and you can get it wrong at times, but it's far better than being unconfident in yourself, while doing something weird.
