Solid Mantis's definitions
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. Allowing yourself a little room not to fail but not being afraid to fail can sometimes make a difference in how something you do turns out. You won't expect to always fail every time that way, even if you don't expect to do a good job at something. The point isn't to be a stupid fuckin hero on a piece of cardboard, no matter what an announcer thinks you have to be, it's to not feel like you have to be anything but who you are, no more no less.

Get the Underconfidence mug.Someone who went from trying to save the world as a kid, to trying to get as rich and influential as possible as they got older.

Get the Dark side mug.Someone who always says they felt tested after going around fucking with other people's lives trying to measure their tolerance and patience.
The hypocrite wondered why a taste of her own medicine wasnt showing her that nobody was testing anybody but her.

Get the Hypocrite mug.Were you going to plagiarize the entire song Doin Time for us to get paid? Do you have any thoughts of your own to sing about?

Get the Doin time mug.12 inchers will usually be the last guys left in a dick measuring contest. Unless for some reason there's a guy with a 14 incher in the contest.
How the fuck are you still in the contest? I thought the final round would be after I got out, you must not be Irish or Asian and you survived past most of the black guys, you must have grown up near a Russian nuclear meltdown, no wonder you're a 7 footer with a 12 incher!

Get the 12 incher mug.1) The kicker for the football team was halved when two guys from the other team hit her from opposite directions. She could see her large intestine on the field.
2) Dewey halved his own brother in a machete fight.
3) The guy was halved by 2 guys sawing him in half down the torso as a punishment.
