4 Pitfalls of Self-Confidence: Are You Blinded By It?

1. Others Don’t See You.
This might sound contradictory; however, this is important to consider. While my friend was self-confident about his ability to recall ingredients, and he may have been right, his girlfriend, as well as myself, didn’t see the person he wanted us to see, or needed us to see. His self-confidence simply made him appear to be a jerk. This is what we often define as arrogance.2. You Don’t See Others.
We’ve all known that person who nods while we speak simply because they want to say something that “one-ups” our point. And, when we meet these people, we feel invisible, because they didn’t care about what we had to say. They didn’t see us. Self-Confidence, without the Self-Esteem to be stable enough understand that none of us knows everything can lead to a life where some people never truly get to know others, or ever learn from others.3. You Don’t See Room for Improvement.
A high level of self-confidence, and the belief in your own abilities, is crucial to your future success. However, when self-confidence is never challenged, it can lead to stagnancy. Consider a runner who easily wins every race. They will most likely possess a high level of self-confidence. However, will that self-confidence ever lead to complacency—the desire to improve themselves, as opposed to simply the desire to win the race. People who live in this world are often crushed when someone finally challenges their abilities because they never learned how to continuously improve.4.Improvement Doesn’t Have Room for You.
Self-confidence is often a product of past results. This means, we gained our self-confidence by the successes we’ve already earned. However, sometimes the world around us can improve faster than we can improve. If we don’t improve with it, and adapt to it, our achievements become outdated and stale. It may sound harsh, but success ends the moment you quit succeeding.How do you align self-confidence and self-esteem?
