I agree, it's hard.
Try to look at it from an inner perspective. You are the best, you're the best you that you can be. So you still feel the same "I'm the best", but it's because you're the best you. You're better than your old self, not other people. I try and look at it that way. Like I want to do something not because it'll make me better than soembody else, but it will make me a better me.
That's about as middle ground as I've gotten it. Sometimes I just joke around about it, like with my friends we're like "oh yeah, that's right, who's the ************ now" in a lighthearted semi mockery way. Like if you have a really good sense of humor, you can turn your arrogance into humor and bring yourself down a few notches by just laughing about it. It may not fix the core issue, but having a light heart can help.
