Confidence?

[Fayble]

It's called certain traits about you are better then others. Like being humble as opposed to cocky. Yeah we are all humans and bleed and stuff, and yeah we're all equal but the things we do define us as people. So murdering someone makes you less of a person then the one who didn't. If we were all the same then the world would be boring. Have you read the book The Giver? Well anyaways, yeah what we do defines us and we are all equally human and are given the same chances but what we make of those chances is what makes us as a person. Certain personalities are better then others and that's how reality goes about life through our personality. You keep saying the same damn thing...



doesnt mean I think they are less or more of a person than I am.



...Well you can think whatever you want that's the freedom of nature. But reality is the truth. And the reality is that a murder and someone who didn't murder someone are not the same. And I think the way reality tells me too. I know, because that's what life tells me. I compare because that's what nature makes me do. And I judge, because I can't help it! Stop saying you never think about comparisons, because that's impossible.



Yeah it's the right thing to do, not compare, but it's impossible to stop it even if we know it's wrong.

Well my point is, if you really were a confident person, you wouldn't have to compare yourself to others and you wouldn't have to hype yourself up by telling yourself that you are better than someone before approaching them. Confident / secure people don't do that.



I don't know what else I can really say. You can talk about people being good at sports and murderers all you want but that doesn't really have anything to do with confidence.

Well that's because we're not talking about confidence anymore... We changed to arrogance. Lmao we've gone all over the place in this topic. Anyways, back to confidence then... Confidence and arrogance are the same thing. Confidence means you think highly of yourself. And arrogance means the same thing. So maybe you don't have to think it, but in essence you are it. You feel me...? Confidence is a feeling and arrogance is an action. I act arrogant in order to feel confident. And yeah that's how I do it. What do you do that makes you feel confident? That's a better question.

Its great to think highly of yourself but when you are doing it overbearingly and start to think that you are superior to others, then you are arrogant.

Confidence is great

Arrogance isn't

I feel confident because I am comfortable with myself. Strengths, flaws and all. I am me and accept myself for who I am. I am not afraid to be myself. Let people make any judgments they want. Love me or hate me, I am still going to be me and Im not any better than you are.



People like a genuine person like that. Not someone who is acting like they are the shit.

Came across this year and a half old thread while browsing around & decided to bump it.
