I'm very different around people I don't know a great deal. I tend to ignore them until they come on to my radar. That feeds other people's opinion of me as an arrogant guy, but it's more that I wouldn't really know what to say to those people, and they'd probably just be offended if I behaved like "myself", whatever that means. I'm also very happy by myself, and have no need to be with others. Often I prefer it; I'll stay at home even when invited out various places just because I'd rather listen to music or something.
In summary, I'm a bastard, but a lot of people want to be friends with me I guess. Also since I've been at university I've found I get along better with the lay-dees than guys, but I think that's because they're all dull. At school it was the diametric opposite situation. I'm also a little less intimidating nowadays, though I think I'm still very much a leader figure than a "tag along" type.
EDIT: And I reckon it'd be funny to see all the long-time boarders in a room together... they'd probably all be staring at the floor with their hands nervously shoved in their pockets or something...

So in other words, you truly are arrogant, and since you have somehow reasoned in your mind that being a prick makes you kinda cool, you aren't going to change. You might find that by not being this way, you will make even MORE friends, and these friends will be true friends, not just people hanging around you because they think you might be cool and want to be cool by association.
EDIT: Sorry, I tend to assume the type of person somebody is by little details. But in my defense, I am also usually right.
EDIT EDIT: Sorry, I was being a jerk.
