The introvert was not just considered fun, but stimulating to be around by enough people that he/she was called the toast of many a party. It was never obvious that he/she was an introvert, so people who were not like him/her were considered shallow by the introvert and his/her closest relations.

A way females can say that they're better than a male without saying they're better than a male. A passive aggressive way of saying she's too good, better than, beyond his realm.
She said she was out of your league that sounds good, that sounds better than she thinks she's better than you.

If your country is not a free country in a pandemic, it's not really an entirely free country, you're just being told it is a free country by the entity that controls your country.
Telling people they live in a free country is a good way to get them to comply with an agenda and turn them into obedient puppets. Nothing is free, you have to fight to get something. Compromise is a good way to lose who you are and any sense of rights that you have.

It's not a realistic expectation to expect a first year team to go out and win every game. Underconfidence is when if you think you'll win about 3 games, you end up winning about 3 games, even though you had the ability to do what you didn't think you would do. The point is not to win games, it's not to start a habit of defeating yourself early when really you have the ability to go further with a little more confidence at the times you would usually lose confidence. If you're playing to win, you're going to fear failure and feel like you have to win, but if you're just going out and working on the things you're rusty at, trying to do what you didn't do last week or yesterday, not giving up on yourself, and the work you're doing is always in progress and never finished, you have room to improve anything you want to improve.
Underconfidence can get you stuck somewhere you wouldn't be stuck at a time when your confidence level wasn't as low.

Asking other people an endless amount of questions to keep them from questioning you is trying to set expectations of them higher than you want them to set theirs for you (a double standard).
