Abstract
Confidence is a feeling of trust in someone or something. To be self-confident is to_x000D_
have confidence in yourself. Self-confident people don’t doubt themselves. This is_x000D_
usually a positive word: you can be self-confident without being cocky, arrogant, or_x000D_
overconfident. If you know what you’re doing, you have every reason to be selfconfident._x000D_
To be precise being self-confident means “A feeling of trust in one’s_x000D_
abilities, qualities, and judgment:_x000D_
Self-confidence has direct correlation with self-esteem. People with low self-esteem_x000D_
have low self-confidence. Self-esteem is your own rating about yourself. If that does_x000D_
not change, self-confidence will not improve. Self-esteem is affected by physical illhealth,_x000D_
negative life events such as losing your job or getting divorced, deficient or_x000D_
frustrating relationships, and a general sense of lack of control. This sense of lack of_x000D_
control is often particularly marked in people who are the victims of emotional,_x000D_
physical, or sexual abuse, or of discrimination on the grounds of religion,_x000D_
culture, race, sex, or sexual orientation.
