Ways To Know A Self-Confident Person

Self-confidence is a personality trait that sets you apart from the crowd. In fact, being a self-confident person is a real bonus because it helps you along the way in your life. Be it your personal life or professional discourse, confidence will always come in handy. But effective as it is, self-confidence is a rare personality trait. It is hard to find people who actually have an air of confidence around them.

In fact, most people pretend to be confident when actually they are not. It is a survival tactic the most of us have to practise. For example, if your boss asks you, "Are you confident about the results of this project?" You can hardly say ‘no' in such a situation. Sometimes, we have to fake confidence in order to convince people or even to get some work done. But people who are actually very confident have certain distinct traits. Their confidence reflects in the way they deal with relationships, work and life in general.

If you are a self-confident person, you will display the following signs.

Never Cribs

A person who is confident of himself would never crib about his problems to others. This is because he can solve his own problems without any help.

Doesn’t Seek Attention

One of the main signs of weakness is needing attention from other people. Self-confident people do not thrive on importance given to them by others.

Not Totally Dependent On Anybody

They are in relationships because they choose to be. But they can very easily survive without relationships. There strength comes from within and not from elsewhere.

Does Not Fear Risks

A confident person will be willing to take calculated risks. They will go for a sudden job change or take a break from work to start their own business. They will also dare to fall for an interesting girl/boy even if he/she is not perfect.

Live And Let Live

People with confidence believe in giving space and also getting theirs in return. They don't like to be smarmy with anyone.Not Insecure In Relationships
Persons who are confident do not fear that their loved ones would leave them. This makes them secure in relationships.

Knows Where To Stop

A person who has confidence in himself or herself would never drag the burden of a bad relationship or job. They know when to call it quits.

Distinguishes Work Pressure From Drudgery

Confidence is about knowing that you work for a living but do not live only to work. If your job is eating into your life then it is not worth having.

Knows Own Self-Worth

A confident person will never be treated badly by their boss, partner or friends. They are aware of their self-worth and thus never take any nonsense from others.

When To Say No

People who lack confidence sometimes agree with others to please them. But self-confident people are not afraid to disagree or say ‘no'.

Alone But Not Lonely

Solitude is different from loneliness and it takes self-confidence to know that. People who believe in themselves are never desperate for company.
