I have noticed that you all seem to possess a strong, unshakeable confidence. What is the psychology behind it and how can I get confidence like that?

The confidence is only apparent to weaker people. Weaker meaning less respect from the general culture. There are pecking orders and most of us live by them never knowing how to transcend them. Even us pretty high on that pecking order still wonder why we are so low and not on the top. There are two ways, one is go make the money and this confidence will come. The second, is a little harder, purify yourself of fear, always tell the truth even if it hurts you, love women more powerful than you never weaker,,be a noble person...... find an art or method of expression. Contemplate the culture and it problems. Then find what you have passion for, and go change the world, your confidence will be higher than anyone I know.....lol

Good question. As a white male I have never thought much about having unshakable confidence and I have no clue as to what the psychology is behind it but to get it just be good at what you do and confidence will come.

what does color have to do with confidence? confidence begins with the "I dont give a s**t attitude" That doesnt mean that you dont care about anything. It means you accept things the way they are and you dont worry about the the small s**t. for example, you ask a girl out, she says no. wow, bummer huh? but are you really hurt? no of course not, you just move on. a word of caution about confidence: Dont be arrogant, or too cocky. Just take things in stride,have a sense of humor and dont worry about what people say about you. Chances are they dont
know you well enough for it to matter. But I think that most of all confidence stems from the concept that no matter what you do or say in this life there is not one single thing you can mess up thats going to prevent the sun from coming up. My philosophy on life is pretty basic;

dont sweat the small stuff and try to make people laugh, go to the bathroom at any opportunity, and remember people are like websites-some ya like, some ya dont, some even have viruses but, and this is the beauty of it all, they all have something to offer and please remember color of the skin doesnt mean s**t

. It's a bluff. We believe that to show lack of confidence invites attack, so we act like we know exactly what we are doing. The confidence is sometimes quite real, Sometimes we do know well enough what we are doing that confidence is justified, but we show confidence whether it is justified or not.
. The more you know about a wide variety of subjects, and the more experience you have with people, the world and life in general, the more reason you will have to be confident, and the more ability you will have to fake it when you are not confident.

I have lots of confidence. Sorry to disappoint you, but the fact that I lack a good tan doesn't have much to do with it.

all of us? that type of composure does not come with race, or gender. all you have to do is be a believable liar. once you get that down, you can do anything, and your confidence will grow with every situation you can bullsh#t your way thru. good luck.

I don't think that applies to everyone, because there are people from other racial backgrounds that are confident & some whites who are not.
