"Don't mistake my confidence for cockiness"...

[Taliq]

I'm not confident naturally, but I can act it in certain situations. I think the difference between confidence and cocky, is confidence doesn't have to broadcast it to the whole world, the world just knows. But cocky openly shoves it downs people's throughts, even at the most inappropriate times.

So who here on the board is a confident person? The type of person who willingly goes up to women/men at bars and starts conversations, isn't scared to tell people their bad habits/sides? Is themselves, chin high shoulders straight always going foward?

Anyways purpose of this thread is, cockiness and confidence has a very thin line in between them. Which one are you most of the time? Ive got to say im very confident, slightly cocky. I don't think i'm the best but I do think I can do my best.

peace.

Being shy is pointless once you realize the only person whose opinions matter bout you is YOURSELF. Never been that shy or even afraid to talk how I feel (my videos I have posted if you have seen them have proven this). It is a talent since soooooo many people are so shy (cant even say who the hell they are without getting an attack). I am more confident, I do not hype myself up but let be know that most of these chicks (mainly in Femme Fatales) do not know what a ride love is untill they ride the black stallion hahahaha....is that cocky?pssh it aint when I can back that talk up:horny: good times.!Good thread 7.

I can be completely cocky or very withdrawn, depends on the situation. Most people know me as an arrogant prick though

I'm like that, but not too much. I'm more of a "don't take my kindness for weakness" type of dude. Ya know?

I'm usually quiet till I get the feel of the person (if I dont know them) although if I'm high or drunk that rules everything out and Im willing to say anything lol I'm confident and from what others tell me I seem that way but its weird I always thought others didnt think I was.

I'm usually perceived as cocky because of my lack of confidence at times. It is the most ironic thing.

Wow, that's exactly how people look at me....i think. Well ive been told that by numerous people. I just have a problem approaching people, that's my big problem. Because 900 things will fly through my mind, ill get all jittery, and sometimes my voice sounds a little shakey. So when i am around a lot of people i dont know real well i tend to be constantly looking around not making eye contact, not really acknowledging anyone. It's wierd, but ive come to accept it. Since i am so quiet around new people, they tend to think that i am a stuck up prick that thinks he's better than everyone. But I am the exact opposite of that. I think i just fear rejection, because once i start talking to someone i will basicially talk to them about anything. I find it hard to show great deals of emotion around strangers. I dont really show any emotions as a form of protection.

a good question and i thought hard on this, coming up on one conclusion. "I don't give a fuck." now this isn't just some smart remark. follow me on this nah....

confidence or cockiness, i know who i am. i know what i can do. i know what i'm good at and i know what is beyond my understanding. i know where i'm the shit and i know that my shit can stank. and i keep it realistic. not really caring how it's seen from others point of view, but respecting their view still. and moving on.

i've got a very complex understanding of confidence, but i'm going to keep the thread going. but it's more than just walking up to some broad or not being shy.

now cocky is just a plain ol ass whole that can't back they're own shit up. and even if you did, the fact that you're such an asshole about it makes people still see you in an ill light. no matter how good you are. so they call you cocky... might be different for other folks cultures, regions, or whatever.

I'm not usually cocky at all although maybe I have been a little at times on here. lol. As for confidence, it's harder to answer. I am in some sense - I believe in my ability but I am not very forthcoming in showing it. I'm more confident in myself professionally rather than personally. I rarely approach men and I dont always share my opinions but that is more of an indication of how I choose to express myself not what I think or feel. I wonder what people who know me would say and whether I give the impression of confidence.

You should be confident. I don't need to say why, I think you already know my answer

peace.
