What's the difference?

Question

I heard this in a song. "I'm not cocky, I'm confident" kinda sounds like the same thing to me, what do you think?

Answer 1

Arrogance and confidence are not the same thing. Each can occur without the other, although each can occur as a result of the other.

Answer 2

Confidence enables you to be comfortable with yourself in all surroundings; cocky is when you think you are the greatest thing on Earth and just piss people off.

Answer 3

Being cocky means that you overestimate your abilities. You think you're real hot ****, babe, when you're really just some asshole with a big ego.

Being confident means you know your limits, your abilities, your limitations. You know exactly how far you can go, and you're willing to do it.

Poncho.

Answer 5

confident means you are sure of yourself, while cocky means you are confident but also have the urge to show off.
