Whose confidence would you love to have yourself?

[SilentAndShy]

Which other people in your life or even celebrities, sports stars etc do you look at and think: "Man, I wish I had his confidence and acquire the ease with which he/she does thing".

One of my brothers is the complete opposite of me, confident, unfearful and strolls into a room like he owns it and makes conversations with old or young.

If there was one in a celebrity world, I'd say Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I love he has this quiet but firm confidence in himself, great smile and physique, gets along with everybody and polite.

Kyra Sedgwick, especially when she played Brenda Johnson on The Closer. I like the way she projects an aura of confidence, high self esteem, and power.

My best friend. He sets his mind on something and can just do it. Plus he's more attractive, assertive, confident, outgoing, and outspoken than I am, so if I could become him, I will be fine.

 

[polishgirl]

My best friend also. She always goes for what she wants and is not afraid to ask, to be hurt.

I don't know. What I see might not be what it's real. Some might look confident, but I'll never know what the heck is going on in their heads. They could be in worse conditions than me for all I know.

Going to have to say my best friend too.haha
We've known each other since kindergarten.
And the teachers always used to say that I liked hanging around him because we were opposite personalities.
He was the class clown. Always the center of attention. Always in trouble.
And I was the kid sitting in the back of class trying to go unnoticed.lol

This is very true, but we can only tell from people what they show us. I do believe my friend is not hiding any pain.

Definitely going to say my best friend too. She is over a year younger than I am, she is so bubbly and outgoing, doesn't care what anyone thinks. She's friendly towards just about everyone, and so confident in herself, she's not afraid of talking to anyone or even being the center of attention. She's constantly going places and seeing people. She's much smarter than I am and she's extremely pretty. She doesn't even have to try to get people to look her way.

I am jealous of her, I will admit. She's basically everything I would like to be, but I'm just not. I do find it interesting though how long we've been friends. I mean, she knows hundreds (no I am not kidding) of people, talks to everybody and anybody, even more so now that she's in college. But she always comes back around to talk and hang out. I am happy about that. It just makes me wonder why someone like her still sticks around with someone quiet, awkward, and extremely shy like me who hates going out most of the time.

I am jealous of my friend, too, and I wish I had his personality.

Maybe your friend enjoys hanging out with you because you're unassuming. You don't try to pretend to be someone you're not and there's a chance she likes your realness, and not the "fake" personalities of her hundreds of "friends". Just a thought.

^ Hm, that's an interesting thought. I was also thinking that while she does have a ton of energy, I'm sure extroverts get just as tired being around each other too long, right? Hence why maybe she likes hanging with me after a while of not hanging out.

I'm assuming you mean social confidence? I'd like to have the social confidence of an alpha male but unfortunately that isn't in my nature. All I can do is try to improve my social confidence to a somewhat livable level. I have been doing better because of my delivery job and going to bars to try to hang there.

The confidence I had as a child. That seems somewhat achievable since I know that I'm mentally capable of it.
