Self confidence means you are certain that you will succeed. You know you will act in a right, proper and effective manner.

self confidence is being sure of your self and knowing your good qualities w/o being arrogant and not needing others to feel good aobut yourself

it play a pretty big role i think if your not sure of yourself and who you are and love yourself its hard to love someone else

yes mostly i would i know who i am and im happy about it and i like myself so i dont need other peoples assurance to feel good
.....hey wikklilgurl send me a message.

self confidence, in my opinion, comes with experience. As a child, one experiences aprehensiveness, caution, fear of failure. This tends to entice non-action and the result is loss.
As age becomes us, we tend to test the waters a little more diligently, with more conviction, seeking change in the path of self destruction that we may call shyness, fear of exposing our true selves, for fear of rejection. As we test these stormy waters and succeed, we gain a sense of that which we call self- confidense. We do not feel judged by the judgeless.

Self confidence for me, boils down to trust,,,huh

In MYSELF,,,:wink:

My personal ability, power and judgement

It begins in my core, and is evident in my external

It makes me happy and keeps me "real", in the day, grateful for what I've been given.

If you trust and are true to yourself, it's really pretty simple don't you think?huh flowerforyou happy

I'm not so sure I will succeed in all I do.. I'm not so sure I am right in my thinking all the time.. In fact, I'm pretty sure I am not. I don't always trust my judgement in circumstances, other people and my own actions. I am aware I have character defects and can be weak...despite my desire to be strong.

I know that for every strength I have.. there is a weakness. for instance... Professionally? I can be pretty tenacious when trying to solve a problem. I don't easily give up. That is a strength. That strength is sometimes viewed as a weakness in interpersonal relationships by a few that know me. Then..it turns into stubborness and not knowing when to walk away.

Sometimes, I know that the best decision I can make.. is to shut up and listen. Listen to the people around me.. Listen to a wisdom that has nothing to do with the varied committees in my head. Not necessarily act on or internalize what I hear.. but to be open to suggestion.

Does that make me insecure?
I don't think so.
It makes me aware. It makes me human.

It helps me overcome my character defects, be a better person.
I've made wrong choices in many circumstances, had bad judgement in people and acted self destructive before... I'm thinking that I probably will in the future too. Hopefully not in the exact same way I have in the past...
Thinking I am above it will only help those things occur more often in my life. Cause me to keep doing the same things over and over, hoping for different results.

It can be a "calculated risk" but if you trust yourself, taking that risk is one that won't leave you with regret. flowerforyou smooched

Trust in yourself is vital but life can be so crazy you may lose that very important attibute. The job is to be strong and maintain it.

sometimes you get tired of being strong though, and just want to be you. I do not believe that showing weaknesses projects you to be less confident than the next person. Contrary to that line of thinking I think it makes you more confident. A person doesnt have to portray strength 24/7 to command respect, or confidence. Confidence does not mean perfection, just a willingness to ride with your decision, and who you are regardless of how others try to tear you down for it

Being you is what its all about. :wink:

Warts and allhuh noway laugh laugh laugh

To be able to face your fears and shortcomings head on is the truest form of self confidence.

Being self confident should not cause stress to remain "strong". huh noway noway noway

IMHO if it does,,your not as self confident as you think:wink: flowerforyou

self confidence just boils down to being happy with yourself, and who you are. it isn't an ego trip, it is just you telling the world I am happy with me, take me as I am. If you don't I am not going to cry about it

Self-confidence is having confidence/certainty in oneself when considering a capability.

I always hear that Self-Confidence is an important quality in a person....
How would you describe Self-Confidence?
What role does it play in a relationship?
Would you describe yourself as self-confident?



If you have to ask, then you probably don't have it.bigsmile

If you are confident about something, you know it.
If you are not, you know it ... because you have fear and doubt.

It is having faith in yourself and making decisions based on something besides fear.

If you know you are good at something, and someone tells you that you stink at it, it does not bother you because you know what you can do and you know that that person does not know what he is talking about.

I am confident that I am a very good artist. But I can't play chess at all.

...I believe it is all the healthy good things youve ever felt in your life when someone else was looking and when you didn't need someone else to be looking to feel good...when the teacher said something that made you proud...when your mom/dad said or did something that made you feel noticed/heard/acknowledged...those are the moments in our lives that have created our self image and self confidence...
