Self-assurance 

confidence in yourself and your abilities

Repetitive Assurance 

In speech, when someone repeats themselves in an attempt to assure the listener of their intention. Often repetitive assurance is utilized by those who have nothing better to say, so instead they opt to say things twice. Repetitive assurance has been made popular by the character known as YeahYeah from the movie Sandlot.
Rebecca: "You going to go to that movie tonight?"
D'Antonio: "Yeah yeah!"
Rebecca: "How about you, Matt?"
Matt: "I'm in. I'm in!"
Rebecca: "What's with all this repetitive assurance lately?"

Cohen assurance

An assurance, guarantee or promise that is only good for a period; it cannot be relied upon 100% because the guarantor will renege on their promise(s) in the face of severe trials (or heat).
Ray: But, he assured me he won't tell on me. That's why I'm shocked he did!

Jay: Wise up dude, that was obviously just a Cohen assurance!
