I would say confidence is a "knowing" that you are well-practiced and well-developed in any kind of endeavor, whether that is social skills or a physical skill.

I wouldn't consider it an emotion but rather a knowing, from which an emotion of satisfaction can flow.

I would say that it is both an emotion and a mindset.

On somedays, I will wake up and feel incredibly confident, do cold daytime approaches, say and do the right things, etc...

Other times, I just don't have it for some reason no matter how I try to put myself in "state" or if I just had a great night the night before.

Yes everything that you feel or are is emotion. So you so called confifence men are also women.

I would say that confidence is a "state" which is a collection of emotions.

I would also say that most emotions, as well as states, are highly interdependent, and can be highly dependent on external variables.

You might be super confident that you could tie your shoes blindfolded, but not so confident that you could get a number from a playboy model.

Confidence is a lack of emotions, or maybe better to say a lack of "feelings," the removal of ego from a transaction, be it a handshake or climbing a rock, just as faith is a lack of belief. Emotionless knowing is confidence, unbelieving but knowing is faith.

Thanks for all replys

I am doing a new role (sales) and getting nervous sometimes
even though having good service

Working on being not dependant on results and emotionless (hard for me)
