What Is Confidence?

That confidence is the key. So what is confidence?

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Belief in your abilities, especially those that promote your belief in being able to integrate with what life has to offer.

I believe there is no such thing as confidence. Just fear's and self doubt clouding over your natural self. For example - the immediate moment of overcoming something that you are afraid of such as completing a bungee jump, talking to a stranger, holding eye contact with an interviewer is when you are at your most natural. The safety net will catch you, guaranteed.

Just do it.

I think confidence is just your ability to do what needs to be done in order to get what you want.

I'm also suspicious of confidence as a trait because you can't really pull it out and show it to some chick, "Look, I have more confidence than he does, therefore you should be attracted to me". All you can do is show you handle different situations, and show good body language.
