What Is Self-confidence?

Self-confidence is the belief that you can handle a certain situation correctly. Self-confidence is knowing that you don't lack any of the necessary skills in order to successfully complete a task. This task could vary from a social activity like being able to approach someone you don't know, to a professional activity like the ability to complete a certain task that your work or your business needs.
Where Does Self-confidence Come From?

Confidence issues could result in you missing a lot of available opportunities because you will be afraid to take the risk of trying something that you aren't sure you can handle.

The following are some facts about self-confidence:

• Self confidence is never inherited, it's learned. The belief that you lack the confidence genes is just a popular myth
• Self confidence is not a general trait but instead you have different confidence issues for all the different activities you do. For example, you may be confident about your ability to drive a car but at the same time dread public speaking.
• Self Confidence is not constant with time; it may change to the better or worse because of the new events that happen in your life.
• Self confidence may be independent of external factors, like being rich or having someone who loves you back.
