Self-confidence is an attitude that allows people to have positive, realistic views of themselves and situations that involve them. People who are self-confident show that they have control over their lives and their abilities, no matter what happens. They believe that they will be able to do what they set their mind to with a positive outcome.
However, self-confident people don’t always expect to be able to do everything by themselves or to do everything correctly. They know when they need help and they are willing to recognize it.
Self-confidence doesn’t necessarily enter into every aspect of a person’s life. For example, someone may exhibit self-confidence at home but not at work, or during certain situations and not others. Everyone has some areas of their life that they feel more confident about than others.
You can be very confident when you speak in public. However, when it’s time to play sports with friends or people you don’t know, you feel insecure and maybe lonely.
Lots of people generalize and think that if they can’t do a particular thing, they don’t have self-confidence at all. Self-confidence or lack of it is context-specific.
Examine now the different areas of your life and notice how much confident you are in each area. Use a 1 to 10 scale. You may be a 6 (somewhat confident) in knowing that you attract success in your life, 1 (no confidence) in knowing that you’re a beautiful person or you can be a 10 in public speaking.
It’s only natural to feel uneasy about situations that you don’t have total control of or don’t know much about. People who think they can solve any problem and can control everything are not confident. They are arrogant. Confidence doesn’t exclude humility.
