Self-Confidence
Self-confidence is a feeling of trust in one’s abilities, qualities, and judgment. A healthy sense of self-confidence involves having a balanced view of yourself—taking pride in your abilities while recognizing your flaws. Although self-confidence can mean different things to different people, fundamentally, it means having faith in yourself.
Confidence is, in part, a result of how we have been brought up and how we have been taught. We learn from others how to think about ourselves and how to behave—these lessons affect what we believe about ourselves and others. Confidence is also shaped by our experiences and how we have learned to react to different situations.
