or what breaks it, I guess there the same but opposite

have you allso found that its changed through the years,

I know I have.

when I started working in the bush, in 1990 then comming

back to town with a pocket full of money I felt invincible,

I would just exude conference, and felt like I could have what I want.

so thats monetary confidence. It may have been partly that I was

learning a skill and my services were valued as well, but the novelty

has worn out.

both are still important as a "person" needs a porpose, but in age,


it just seems the expectations are higher, so a guess you could

count me under the "needs approval from society"


"keeping up with the Jones's" ...lol.. so it just does a full circle for

me and just comes back to "the "bigger" the boy the "bigger" the toy $$$$


I got a few I can add later

I'm always confident...I call it "My head is in the clouds."

A trip to the Walmart usually works for me.....

i m always confident cos i have Jesus in me who strengthens me i can achieve whatever i set my heart upon

Any goal I achieve feeds my confidence toward the next, bigger goal.

You don't need confidence when you're as awesome as I am.

Stupid lag.

I am confident because GOD never created you if you are not a special one,,

Geez..you guys are a quiet bunch, I thought the question was I little more loaded than that.

ok, but that if you don't achieve any short tern goals for a while, have you allso

just relied on a co-dependence from a love intrest & just road that wave for a while.

I think that's two questions. ..

ok thanks, maybee I'm shallow ang its just my hang up ?

ill remember that, and i'll run that one by the chicks

I'm not talking about love interests. I don't consider that so much of a goal per se.

I was referring to work or personal achievements. If I haven't achieve a goal in a while then I'm not working hard enough. That doesn't lower my confidence, it just lights a fire under me to work harder or try a different method. Eventually, VICTORY WILL BE MINE! Muhaahaa!

right on, good for you I know what you were talking about .
it was a separate questions, in re: to a form of confidence.
there was a draw and YOU drew the extra question this evening. that all, your not getting
your knickers in a twist are you...or your from the mid west, that one may not apply
nice to talk to you

Not at all. I practically have twist proof knickers even if I'd taken that wrong.

I'm a Melmacian. That is all that I need in order to be confident.

always debonair, looks like your off to Hef's, playboy mansion

Positivity feeds my confidence

Being bullied as a youngster, failing various endeavors, rejection, these things had serious impacts on my life, more so that I'm too sensitive for a guy. Over many years I learnt to harness all the pain and emotion into constructive means. Met a local tough guy and began boxing at the same gym he trained in, reading became an obsession because my father always called me dumb, and began understanding women the more and more I made a fool of myself before them. I'm lucky to of been oppressed, I would rather believe that than cry about it. My morale is that everytime life breaks you, with the right rehabilitation, you rebuild stronger.

so you are talking about positive reinforcements
such as one complementing you on a good job.

*thinks to himself, I sure wanted to word it different*
