Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Self-confidence is having confidence in oneself. Arrogance or hubris in this comparison, is having unmerited confidence—believing something or someone is capable or correct when they are not. Overconfidence or presumptuousness is excessive belief, in someone or something, succeeding, without any regard for failure. Scientifically, a situation can only be judged after the aim has been achieved or not. Confidence can be a self-fulfilling prophecy as those without it may fail or not try because they lack it and those with it may succeed because they have it rather than because of an innate ability. Self-confidenceMain article: Self-confidenceSelf-confidence does not necessarily imply 'self-belief' or a belief in one's ability to succeed. For instance, one may be inept at a particular sport or activity, but remain 'confident' in one's demeanor, simply because one does not place a great deal of emphasis on the outcome of the activity. The key element to self-confidence is, therefore, an acceptance of the myriad consequences of a particular situation, be they good or bad. When one does not dwell on negative consequences one can be more 'self-confident' because one is worrying far less about failure or (more accurately) the disapproval of others following potential failure. One is then more likely to focus on the actual situation which means that enjoyment and success in that situation is also more probable. If there is any 'self-belief' component it is simply a belief in one's ability to tolerate whatever outcome may arise; a certainty that one will cope irrespective of what happens. Belief in one's abilities to perform an activity comes through successful experience and may add to, or consolidate, a general sense of self-confidence. From Wikipedia under the

Q. People are often encouraged to believe or be confident in themselves. However, at certain times, too much confidence can lead people into thinking that you're stuck up and obsessed with yourself. It can also give people the impression that you're unkind and unwilling to be friends with them as they think that you think that you're too good for them, though this aint the case. So my question is, how confident should a person be in themselves? How could they show a considerable amount of confidence but at the same time, avoid having people misinterpret their behavior as being something negative? I'm sorry if this sounds a bit confusing but I am surely confused myself. Asked by mystery - Mon Feb 4 17:09:28 2008 - - 26 Answers - 1 Comments A. A confident person would not have to be going to the extremes so as to make it seem they were arrogant. You can't always know how people will react to your demeanor. I am very sarcastic, I come across as being rude and arrogant, but I'm not, I'm just funnier and smarter than some people. If I were to really be concerned with how others perceive me, I wouldn't act that way, I would be sure to be more polite and image conscious.

Asked by sunnydays - Tue Sep 29 16:24:05 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. the first thing u need to do is quit caring about what others think of you...its your life to live not theirs and really who are 'they' that u need to waste ur sanity on worrying about what they think of u? we all came into this world the same way and we all rot in the ground afterwards therefore nobody is that special that u need to worry about what they think of u. u have no choice but to live with what looks and personlity u have and life is short. so instead of wasting it all on worrying about it, figure out ways to rock what u got. we are all beautiful in our own way, and not one girl is more hotter than the next, as the world is made up and good and evil, dark and light.
