Here are the 12 benefits of greater self-confidence: Being your best under stress. People often confuse self-confidence or confidence with over-confidence. Overconfidence often borders the narcissistic personality in a person.
One basic difference between the two terms is that an overconfident person absolutely believes in himself without even thinking that anything can go wrong. Self-confidence impacts the whole personality and life of a person.
This is why the importance of self-confidence cannot be denied or neglected. The following points highlight the importance of self-confidence. In psychology, self-esteem is considered an important ability to have a successful life in terms of having a healthy life — both physically and mentally. Having confidence in oneself is a gateway to developing better self-esteem and vice versa.
Many theories of psychology state that self-esteem is made up of two components that are self-efficacy and self-confidence. Almost all of the issues related to social anxiety, self-esteem, and some other forms of anxiety have a root cause of low self-confidence in a person.
If you compare two people — one having self-confidence and the other having low confidence — there is a visible difference in their anxiety level and fears. Moreover, a person with low self-confidence tries to avoid every possible situation where they have to be in the limelight that reinforces the anxious behavior. So the cycles continue unless it is broken by increasing confidence. The importance of self-confidence is positively related to making people comfortable in their skin.
Confident people accept their flaws and know that this does not decrease their self-worth. It improves your performance dramatically. Just think about it, your goals will be bigger when you have low self confidence.
It can lead to depression and anxiety and what not but that is very low self confidence. Just the right amount of self confidence, only slightly low, could overall improve your improvements maybe not in your love life or personal life, but it definitely in your business life and in my opinion, that is much more important and it is just not worth having high self confidence.
Though the reasons given in the articles are relevant to self confidence, I think the other article mentioned at the beginning was also relevant if not more accurate and useful. I wish I could have lower confidence so I could do better in school.
I wish everyone else who owns companies would too have lower confidence so their businesses would be better. I believe that lower confidence makes the world a better place for technology and the people that use it. I feel that overly high confidence also causes awkward situations even more awkwarder and uncomfortable, especially for the other person. It will not be awkward for you and it will make the person you are talking to more uncomfortable around you.
This is due to high self confidence and it will really affect your reputation around others. In another situation, you will start a awkward conversation and you will end it cause you realize that it is awkward cause you have low self confidence.
It would keep going and get increasingly uncomfortable for yourself and the other person if you had any higher confidence. This is yet another reason why confidence is bad. It was interesting when you talked about how a lack of confidence can cause us to set our goals too low and not stretch ourselves.
The article is really helpful and full of knowledge. It has been explained in a better way the reasons that lead a confident person to success. Only A way to reduce self criticism is to catch the extremes you say to yourself and ask yourself for evidence. Have you achieved something in your life? Can you drive, use a computer, walk, talk, read? Has there never been a time when your efforts were recognised? You only need to have achieved something once to be able to smash through your extreme thinking.
You can now change this self-doubt talk to something that is more empowering. I know I am making a difference and what I am doing is important. What are you good at? What have others complimented you on? What have you been told in your annual reviews? You often dismiss the positives and focus on what you feel you need to improve on. You may downplay what you are good at, thinking that if you are good at it, everyone else must be as well. Maybe they are.
