How do you become self confident while avoiding arrogance and conceit?
Self confidence is more about silence than talking. If you are self confident that is enough – you have nothing to prove to yourself or others. A lot of people who are not confident are always talking to mask their lack of confidence. If you are truly confident you will only contribute when you have something useful to contribute and never be afraid to say “I don’t know” if you truly don’t. Also, it is often very revealing if you know something on a subject but pretend you don’t – the other person then becomes over confident and you can see how much they really know !!
