Quiet confidence
What do you do when you’re feeling insecure?
Many people overcompensate they try to be confident, but instead they’re arrogant and self-obsessed, they brag and boost their own ego thinking other people will respect their confidence, but this kind of confidence drives people away.
Pride and self-respect are important, but they can push people away, that’s why the best kind of confidence is quiet confidence.
Someone with quiet confidence values their ideas and opinions but they keep those ideas to themselves.
Most people aren’t interested in what you have to say even if it is interesting, but if someone takes an interest, don’t be afraid to speak up tell your stories, and share your experiences, speak confidently about your goals and interests.
If you want to stop being awkward, stay confident on the inside but reserved on the outside.
