I read this question last night to prep a little for writing it up this morning. I honestly have nothing. Is it possible that something about my personality repels people who are confident? I can’t think of a single person in my life who is as self confident as they deserve to be. Everyone I know is smart and talented and capable, and all of them lack self confidence. All of them.
I wonder… does like attract like? I ask because I am the least confident of all of them. Out of the whole crowd of people that I know, none of them lack confidence the way I do. Is it possible that I am just projecting? Is it possible that people I know actually are very confident but because I am utterly without confidence I somehow can’t see it?
Everyone has moments of confidence. Everyone has moments of doubt. Maybe I just tend to focus on the doubt part and can’t really see the confidence part for what it really is.
Maybe I’m just bad at reading people. Maybe I’m just clueless.

Self-perception can be difficult and unfulfilling at times – surely one sided. You understand yourself better than anyone else but you only have that one perspective from yourself if you take my menaing ‘ were all the same as such. How can one be confident in this world? If you feel you lack confidence its because you want to do something or expect you must do soething you cannot. Too wide a persecptive. sorry for poor typing.

I think there are a hell of a lot more people who are faking confidence than any of us realize.
That expression “fake it till you make it” is entirely true.

An interesting query!
I have tons of confidence, even when I shouldn’t!
