Confidence is a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Confidence comes from a latin word fidere' which means "to trust"; therefore, having a self-confidence is having trust in one's self. Arrogance or hubris in this comparison is having unmerited confidence – believing something or someone is capable or correct when they are not. Overconfidence or presumptuousness is excessive belief in someone (or something) succeeding, without any regard for failure. Confidence can be a self-fulfilling prophecy as those without it may fail or not try because they lack it and those with it may succeed because they have it rather than because of an innate ability.

A significant thing on every woman's benchmark that automatically APPROVES the 'assholes' in regards to SEX primarily. Essential part of a man's frame in game.
After a 6 month relationship Ben was basically discarded like trash from Hannah due to not have any self-respect . Darryl a mentor taught him how to regain his dignity again. Hannah left him for a douchbag that didn't truly want to do anything to do with her accept to play endless mind games. After a while he dumps for another girl and repeats the process. By the way this guy was very ugly 'no homo'. I don't know why she kept pursuing him though . I ve noticed one thing he had that Ben didn't ; and that's confidence. You couldn't tell him that he looked like a pig. He was too full of himself and most importantly he can make Hannah respect him.

Get the confidants mug.
Checkpoint confidence is the feeling of safety you get after earning a checkpoint in a video game, that ups your tendency to do risky things now that you know you won't lose your last bit of hard earned progress if you are immediately killed.
"Why are you suddenly rushing them, Gavin? You'll die!"
"Yeah well I have checkpoint confidence right now."
"Yeah well I have checkpoint confidence right now."
