Anyone ever get called cocky because they think the "hard" course is generally easy and have no trouble doing the work? Or "cocky" because they forewent an average course because they wanted to do/learn something useful?

What is the proper response?

I get called cocky because I don't complain and mope about a class being too difficult or a professor being a bitch, I'm usually too busy studying to complain. So people assume the class is easy for me.

I'm in the same situation OP. Just ask, "how am I being cocky?" That usually shuts them up.

They tell me I'm arrogant and I tell them that working hard instead of whining about working hard =/= arrogance. Furthermore, I tell them I don't really care what they think of me and that I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Nothing pisses people off more than knowing that you truly don't give a shit about them or what they think of you because that means they can't get to you.
