Are you self-confident?

No

Yes…I mean no…I mean, uh, maybe?

Unfortunately, yes! Self-confidence looks like this: self-confidence.

I’m sorry.. it took me too long to be able to read this question.. the glare from my awesomeness was more blinding than usual. :p

Just do things to make yourself happy (without infringing upon the rights of others)... live a life you can be proud of… the self confidence will come naturally…

Or be awesome like me.. that works too.

No. But I have a lot of plates to keep spinning in my world. I don’t have the luxury of only acting when I’m certain that I can pull things off with style and grace, or even succeed at all. All I can do is put insecurities aside, give it my best shot with whatever assets I have, and see what happens. I know that sometimes I’ll botch it, but then I’ve seen enough people botch things (often those with the most self-confidence) that I don’t take it too hard. You just clean up the mess and move on.

@Dr_C Couldn’t say it better myself! lol

Yes. Now I am. You have to become self-actualized as much as possible and, more importantly, comfortable with who you are. Nothing will ever be as intimidating as presenting projects publicly in architecture school again. So, practice helps. A lot of practice. State of mind. And trial by fire. Plus, earn your chops in as many arenas as you can.

I’m self-confident while doing activities I know I’m good at (speaking spanish, linguistics, etc) and not so confident in social settings etc.

Now, certainly. Mindset…

Certainly sometimes
and sometimes not at all
it varies depending on the situation at hand

I am so on the internet. I’ve found that, provided I can take all the time I need to order and express my thoughts, I can be an eloquent critical thinker who can find some sort of sensible answer to almost any question or issue. Even when the only right answer is that I honestly don’t know.
The intertubes are like an easy mode for social interaction to people like me. :/

In real life I’m still working on establishing the kind of confidence I have here.
I believe I’ve been making some headway lately, but seemingly inevitably, having to come up with all that brilliance in real time is a lot trickier. I find myself judging more quickly, thinking more slowly, being more reserved, saying things I don’t really mean.
If only spoken words had an edit button.

I am self confident in my work evironment, but not in a social setting. If someone is looking at me, instead of me thinking they are checking me out, I figure I have something on my teeth, a boob is hanging out, or I’m unzipped. I’m working on it.

Yes, I am self-confident.

I’m not sure what it looks like, it doesn’t exactly display explicitly. One example is that I’m always willing to try new things and just do stuff; I don’t hold back like some people I know. I have a friend who often doesn’t want to do things (like games, sports, or other things that require some kind of ability) because he thinks he’ll bad at everything. I think I’m intelligent and I don’t let people tell me otherwise. I’m confident in social settings; I’m not a leader type person by nature so I don’t tell people what to do or anything, but I’m not afraid to voice my opinion whenever I feel it necessary.

Sometimes I just plain think I’m awesome. I don’t impose it on anyone else, but I don’t let things get me down. I don’t let people take me down, it’s harder than it looks to do that to me. :)

And I like I always always stress: I’m not arrogant. I don’t think I’m better than other people. I just think I’m really great. :P

I don’t think I could manage that. Is my answer OK?

I answered this a few days ago: http://www.fluther.com/disc/45434/do-you-consider-yourself-a-self-confident-person/

I love who I am, how I came to where I am, and who loves me. To traditional media driven views of what is self-confident, I may not fit the mold. To the aforementioned, they are confident in me and that is why I am self-confident.

Yes, I am certainly self-confident and much of that was developed through experiences in my career in the military that has lasted for more than 2 decades.

Completely. Even if I’m doing something I have no clue how to do, I take strength in knowing that I know nothing about it, and that makes me more confident.

@dynamicduo “I take strength in knowing that I know nothing about it”
Whoa. I’ve got to learn how to do that. O_o

Sometimes. It comes and goes, depending on what’s happening in life and health. Right now I have little confidence in my memory, and I’m not sure about my sales skills. I don’t know how good a musician I am. I’m not certain how good a writer I am. I don’t feel confident that I could write anything sustained.

But, I do feel confident that I’m a better parent than I was a year ago, and that I can stay on top of things I wasn’t able to handle a year ago. I think I sound confident. I think that a lot of the stuff I worry about doesn’t matter so much. I am confident that I can be likable, although I’m never certain about how likable I am at the moment.

Nope not at all
