I’m having a really hard time coming up with an answer to this question.
Does my brain not recognize confidence or what? I’m thinking of people I know and I’m trying to decipher whether or not they have confidence. Trying to rate their confidence. Coming up with zilch.
It’s not something I typically, or have ever, apparently, reflected on. Can’t recall saying or thinking to myself, ‘wow does so and so ever exude confidence, wish I had that’.
Maybe I’d have an easier time thinking of people who lack confidence but that’s not nice.
Although I often make these posts about me, in this case I don’t want to. Seems like that would give an air of over-confidence.
I know that I am a confident person, but only because people have told me so. I never ever considered such a thing or spent any time reflecting on whether or not I was confident. It never came up and never much mattered.
What I do find interesting about confidence is that even if you’re lacking it when you’re younger, you can come into it with age and experience. Life can sometimes do that for people.
My younger sister Gena is the perfect example. She wears what she wants to now and not all of my clothes like when we were teenagers. (Also, we live 600 km apart so that would be difficult).
If we happen to eat at a restaurant together, she can finally order for herself and she orders what she wants, instead of copying my order. That used to drive me crazy.
