AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It means you accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. You know your strengths and weakness well, and have a positive view of yourself.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Is Confidence? Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities-not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Confidence isn’t about feeling superior to others. It’s a quiet inner knowledge that you’re capable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Confidence is the colloquial term for self-efficacy – the belief that you can successfully do a particular thing. It is this link to action that differentiates confidence from self-esteem (how good you feel about yourself) or optimism (belief that things will turn out OK).

Detailed explanation-4: -Confidence is a skill that can be learnt over time. It won’t necessarily be easy, but those with a growth mindset are more likely to be able to develop confidence in the areas they want to be confident in. When I first started delivering wellbeing webinars, I was not confident at all.
