How can I show confidence in myself without being conceded?

Answer 1

Good question...

Confidence is the feeling that you are capable of doing something. You can show confidence simply by taking on challenging tasks. That's all there is to it. People lacking confidence wouldn't do that.

It's easy to avoid being conceited. Just be humble while you're confidently pursuing challenging tasks. In other words, don't brag. Just do it and let your actions speak for themselves.

Answer 2

Understand the difference. Confidence comes from knowing that every human should feel proud of themselves and everyone has the right to speak up and be heard or let the world know what they are about. Being conceided actually comes from an insecurity that you have to be better than other people in order to be acceptable. If you are a well balenced person you won't come off conceited. If you notice people saying that they think you are a lot, maybe take a look at how you view the world and re think.

Answer 3

People mistake confidence for being conceded. If you have to prove to people you have confidence, you are going to have a rough life trying to please people who won't even think about you twice. Nobody wakes up in the morning and goes, "man, I can't get over how much confidence that girl has." Confidence is important when it comes to your job , persuading people and speech class. But, if you want to show confidence and not come off as conceded, you have to know when to speak and when not to. Have you ever noticed the people in class who are the first to raise their hands when the teacher asks a question? Those people try to hard, and I don't think much of them. You have to be modest. Wait until the teacher calls on you, and be ready to give an intelligent answer. You should watch Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) from Prison Break. He has confidence.

Answer 4

i am not certain, but i will answer under the premises that you mean in relationships or the finding of relationships. to be confident in yourself means that you are comfortable and secure in the kind of person you are. the way to show this is by accepting, and not fishing for compliments (if you are unsure what i mean by fishing for compliments; it is the classic girl move of "im so fat, dont you think?" or some permutation of) it also entails being who you really are and being comfortable enough not to censor yourself. be confident that you are attractive as a person and that people who dont think that are not the sort of people you want a relationship anyway.
when some one sees you as conceded, this means that they simply think you desire too much attention to be directed at yourself. it sounds simple but truely talk about and have an interest in the other person and they certainly will not think you concieted.

Answer 5

Believing and feeling good about yourself is showing confidence. Putting yourself on a pedstal above others, that is conceit. So if you good about yourself and others as well, you are showing confidence!

Answer 6

Having confidence in yourself is looking in the mirror and saying to yourself, "I like the way I look."

Being conceited is when you go around to everyone and his brother and say, "I'm so damn hot!"
