A few points regarding confidence.

A.) Confident people are incredibly rare.

B.) Cockiness and confidence are not the same thing. Cockiness is just one of insecurity's myriad manifestations.

C.) It is true that confidence does not entail great ability, duh. There are brilliant people out there who sadly lack confidence, and "normal" Joes who don't (lack confidence).

D.) What is often indicative of confidence and those who truly have it, is that they know what they are capable of as well as what they're not (self-efficacy). They accept themselves and love themseleves. And they are empowered by these qualities to be who are they are and do as they do as they please.

E.) I have found that confident people are incredibly self-aware people who also happen to have adopted a grounded kind of optimism.

F.) The world would be a better place if there were more people who were confident. Insecure people often act shitty not only to themselves but to others as well. :sad:

Very insightful. :nice:

The Art of War is all anyone will ever need to learn about confidence.

Moderation is key. The overconfident will be reckless, the underconfident will hesitate.

Only the truly confident will ever attain that moderation.
