Is there a difference between being conceited and being confident?

Question

If there is, tell me what what the difference is?

Answer 1

confident is what you are sweetheart.......... is there anything I can do for you baby???

Answer 2

The difference is in knowing your good parts as well as your bad. Confident people are proud, but humble. Conceited people think they're perfect and have no bad qualities.

Answer 3

I think there is a difference.

To me, being confident means that you believe in yourself and know that you can achieve your goals and dreams and when you set out to do something, you believe that you will do it. You know your faults exist, and you know what they are. However, you're not likely to compare yourself to others unless it's in a self-challenge to better yourself. This type of person tends to stand out as a leader, due to confidence.

Being conceited, on the other hand, has to do with being self-centered. Instead of merely believing in yourself and your abilities, you make everything out to be about you...and always in a good light. It's like the getting old saying, 'you think you're all that and a bag of chips.' You compare yourself to others to make yourself feel better and/or the others feel negatively toward themselves. This type of person is a type of bully, and often is not confident, but rather vain.

Hope that makes sense and helps.
Have a good one.
