Being confident means having good coping mechanisms, and one of the strongest ones is the ability to remain unworried when faced with uncertain outcomes. A confident person understands that even if things don't quite go their way, they'll be able to come up with a plan to fix it later on.
"Go for it!"
People who are truly confident always expect things to turn out for the best. This makes sense since their track record of proper decision-making means that they automatically regulate their optimism with realistic thinking.
"I understand where you're coming from."
According to research, 9 out of 10 high achievers possess a great deal of emotional intelligence. It turns out that showing empathy is actually a major contributor to true confidence.
Confident people usually tend to stand out from the crowd and don't feel pressured into trying to gain acceptance from others. This is what makes confidence such an attractive thing - the underlying self-assurance that naturally makes others follow in your footsteps.
"Why not me?"
Whether it's asking for a promotion, building the right relationships, or simply taking a leap of faith, confident people are opportunity seekers, and when they can't find one, they're perfectly happy to create their own opportunity.
"Anything is possible."
For a confident person, success has absolutely no limits if provided with enough motivation and resources. The glass-half-full approach to life generally rubs off on others within the same environment.
A confident person will never shy away from standing up to what they believe is wrong. However, they are smart about their confrontations, so they won't bother with fighting a losing battle either.
"I made a mistake."
If you're willing to try everything, then you're bound to make mistakes. However, a confident person won't let this hold them back, as they know that owning up to mistakes will earn them the respect of their peers since it shows that they are both accountable as well as responsible.
"Tell me more..."
A truly confident person is naturally curious, and as a result, will listen a lot more than they talk. On the other hand, people who constantly brag or monopolize situations show that they've got something to prove and are just trying to cover up their insecurities.
Owning up to your weaknesses goes hand-in-hand with being confident. This is because identifying and working to fix your weaker skills goes a long way towards perfecting yourself and mastering any job.
"What can I do to help?"
Confident people know that they can always provide some sort of assistance, regardless of the situation. They also know how to stay on the right side of the fine line between being self-assured and being pompous, since their actions match their words.
"I'll find an answer."
When times get tough, a confident person will rely on self-affirmations to give their morale a boost. This will then help to protect them against the harmful effects of stress, as well as improving their problem-solving skills.
