What makes a Person Confident in your Opinion?

JBKO · ‎12-16-2011

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving! I would have to say that confident people speak their mind and are just "louder" in general.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

I think that if you are truly confident, you don't have to be louder.

I don't think confidence has anything to do with noise level. Ever hear a mob?

I also think if you're truly confident, you know the right place and time to speak your mind and when not to.

Confident people speak their mind. How loud or soft spoken they are is irrelevant.

Hello! Happy post-thanksgiving to you!

To me a confident person is comfortable receiving feedback without letting it affect their self worth as well as not needing to make decisions by committee all the time.

Also, confidence to me means you can admire other people's gifts and abilities without feeling like it takes away from your own.

Just being okay in your skin and being able to be happy for others instead of jealous.

The two are not necessarily related.

Confident people are indeed good at expressing themselves, but the truly confident often don't feel the need to say anything. They simply know what they know, believe what the believe, and don't need to argue it or espouse it to others.

Self-confidence is born from knowing yourself, your talents and abilities and when to use them. Some times, not saying anything shows more confidence than being loud. Loud is just loud.
