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