Building Self-confidence: Confidence Doesn’t Exclude Humility.
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 unsecure 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.
