If you can be alone and still have a friend then you are in pretty good shape.

Walk like you have a cape? I think I tried a few times in the past. But this concept is shallow and false and temporary. Sorry to sound like a prick, but I have tried it all, and the thing that made me Really confident permanently was I thought the thought “I am confident in myself”. Afterwards, you ask yourself, What if I REALLY WERE self confident?

Get into the Feel, of if it were real, right now. This is what it is like if it is A Reality for me. ……”Because, it’s True”.. tell yourself that. Then you let Yourself act naturally. No trying to act confident, or pretending you are Batman. Because that is a lovely, but temporary High that dies out quick.

My excersise takes actually a few months to Really take effect. But “acting as if” is a practice people will see right through your bs a mile away especially women. And again, it will be gone completely the next day or few hours. Great for a presentation, or job interview though, in fact, I did it just yesterday. ( walk like gold string is holding your head up) for a job interview. My 2 cents.peace

Arrogant/confident. From the reading I see arrogance and conceit

“Most of the men who left me came back and I had the chance to send them away with my arrogant but generous confident self.”

aaahhhh so you got to break them instead of them you. They crawled back and you rejected them…you won…generous????

“I was superior ” conceit not confidence

“I get fed up of narrow minds and environments and I turn my back on everything if I have to”
So if it doesn’t fit your parameters they are narrow minded.

“I can’t remember a situation in my life when I allowed someone else to hurt me,” If you can’t be hurt you will never understand true love, control maybe but not love.

Sounds more like “I have to be right” or I turn my back. That is the antithesis of confidence.

I work with people in a classroom setting, facilitating workshops on interviewing, resumes, self-esteem, self-awareness, anger management… People believe I am confident. Posture I think is 90% of the battle. Speak clearly, look em in the eye and people believe you because you believe in yourself.
When I tell them 5 years ago I was unemployed…a loser with no dreams or goals, they barely believe me.
I tell you ‘fake it till you make it’ helps, , stand tall, superman cape.

I lived my entire life (47 yrs) on the lonely side of the arrogant confident. I was raised to be confident, independent and brave but never selfish. I was a natural born confident, I believe for some people it is right there from the beginning, from your early years, we just wake up to our confident self. I can’t remember a situation in my life when I allowed someone else to hurt me, I was superior as my father told us to be, I instantaneously forgave and befriended ex-boyfriends I found cheating on me. Who cares, they didn’t deserve my pain, my time, I was so confident and generous (as my father taught me) that I never feared to be friends with someone who tried to hurt me. I never fought for people, never expressed jealousy, I despised jealousy more than anything, a selfish-weak feeling, I was superior (blargh). And they (lovers and friends) always came back to me and from early age I found out that men are easier to deal if you are a confident woman. Most of the men who left me came back and I had the chance to send them away with my arrogant but generous confident self. Even when I was heartbroken I wouldn’t allow anyone to shake me and my confidence was always there for me, it felt good to be strong.

Everything came to me the way I planned and wanted. I made mistakes, confident is not the right one, but losses were fruits of my own wrong assessments and decisions. The thing is, my natural confidence fitted with my personal profile, my ideological choices, the human rights politics I embrace, my will to change the world, to revolution society, to win the game played by cynical-coward, to save the poor with ground breaking courage.

Then I became a mother, and then I found myself in front of someone who really matter, someone I can’t turn my back on, ever. I am a confident mother, as confident and arrogant as I am as a professional atheist (of course there is no place to magic in my life, a real arrogant confident will never accept the power of someone or something else we can’t see, control or look deep into the eyes). But you know, the project to raise a child is really overwhelming, one need a partner, I have a perfect partner for the project, but we fight, oh we fight, because I am a damn arrogant confident wife even but I could not turn my back on those two, ever. I still make mistakes due to my excessive self confidence, most of the time I give things and projects away to others, I get fed up of narrow minds and environments and I turn my back on everything if I have to but I still haven’t given up my will to change this planet, at least around me. I stand by me.

Cheers.

My sister said I need to walk with confidence. She told me how to fix my shoulders, keep my head up, and smile.

My coworkers said I look like a cocky douchebag when I walk.
