Confidence has been known to be a crucial character trait that makes people look more attractive and also makes them feel better and do things better

I've read many things about confidence and how to acquire it,
-body language
-eye contact
-self assurance
-experience
-love of yourself
-stick to own opinion

However, when I have good body posture and act confident and do everything that would make myself feel and appear confident, it actually makes people less attracted to me and even look down upon me. The reason is, they see it as arrogance. My display of confidence comes of as arrogance to other people

So my question is, what is the crucial difference between confidence and arrogance and how does one become truly confident while completely avoiding arrogance?
