How self confident are you?

[Hygro]

And how self confident do you wish you were? Very? Completely? Or even be filled with deliciously crippling self-doubt ?

 

[luiz]

I have a lot of faith in myself. An almost limitless confindence in my own abilities and that I'll make things work out in the end. In fact this may seem like some self-help nonsense, but if there's one thing that's universally true is that if you don't believe in yourself nobody else will.

 

[warpus]

Throughout the course of a day it's possible for me to have moments of perfect confidence as well as moments of incredible self-doubt... and everything in between. Feeling more confident more often would probably be good, but I think my at times high levels of self-scrutiny allow me to much better make use of every day as an opportunity for personal growth. And if personal growth is done right, it should lead to more feelings of confidence, so on average it tends to for me be a slow upwards rise (very slow, think years, not weeks) - only affected by major unexpected events. So if things keep up the way they've been going, by the time I'm 90 years old I'm going to be an annoying overly confident knowitall.

fluctuates wildly

at the end of the day, it comes out to roughly "yea I could do that if no one was watching and no one knew except for myself"

slightly different than believing "I can't"

 

[Smote]

Mine fluctuates a lot. I am not confident at things I haven't tried before, usually.

 

[dusters]

The better i know something, the less confident i am.

Hence - if i haven't tried a thing, i assume i'm genius at it. If i try it and it shows I'm no genius at it - i lose confidence.

So at end of the day i'm between, "I must be genius at at least one thing" and "I'm so smart, i can point out every single bias in my own thinking"

Depends on how physically fit I am. I have plenty of confidence in my intellectual abilities no matter the situation. If I'm in good shape physically, I figure I can handle whatever is thrown at me. If not, I'm all too aware of what I can and can't do.

 

[KMRblue1027]

Virtually non-existent.

 

[The_J]

Depends on the mood and about what exactly we're talking about.
e.g. I'm relatively self-confident about my skills at work, but really not about the results I get.
I'm feeling self-confident about my physical state in general, but not yet about my body shape.
I'm often feeling very self-confident about my intellectual abilities, but not necesssarily when it comes to e.g. arts .
I'm feeling very self-confident about being able to fake self-confidence (if necessary) .

Well, as for me, i am able to be over-confident at times (by now, it was the exact opposite in the past). In general i am more prone to want to examine set things (eg my own thoughts), whereas in a world with other people it is to be noted that one does not really know equally set things, ever. One can just guess and base guesses on 'adequate' appearances of external parameters.

In the end i am ok and move sort of freely by now, without worry, but i am always living in two realms anyway (mental and external)

 

[Mise]

I've found that the more I know and explore my limitations, flaws, etc, the more confident I get. Cos I know what I'm likely to suck at so I won't be all that devastated when I do inevitably suck at it. I wouldn't say I was particularly self-confident, but I am sufficiently self-confident to live life happily.

 

[Zelig]

More confident than I am in other people.

 

[timtofly]

I am more confident, than others think I am. But only slightly to confuse them.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I have no self condience.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Most days, I blush a little at praise. On a few occasions when everything is going right, I feel like I am poised to conquer the world.

 

[JollyRoger]

In some areas, I have pretty much absolute confidence. In others, I have far less confidence (or trust in myself) than should and I design elaborate processes to overcome this lack of confidence/trust. This leads to the evils of perfectionism, procrastination, and paralysis which drives down confidence/trust even more.

 

[downtown]

I think I am really good at projecting confidence when I don't have it, and I'm exceptionally self-aware, which I think really helps too. I don't know anybody in my profession who doesn't grapple with their ego AND crippling self doubt, but I think I manage it okay.

 

[Perfection]

I don't need to answer your asinine questions, chump.

 

[Oruc]

full of doubt, it's a pain but that's life
