confidence in something is the belief , the feeling, that it will go allright.
having confidence in a person means that somone thibnks *hick* that this person is suitable for accomplishing some task
.
Confidence is developed by experience, if you seee often enough that some process ends well, you will gain more confidence in the final result of other but similar processes.
This also holds for confidence in a person, but if the person is a smooth talker he/she can also implant confidence in you, so that you thinbk without experience that this person is suitable for some task.
Finally there is confidence in oneself, this is the same as having confidence in the other , except the other and the person are one and the same person, that is yourself.
Why do you want to know all this ?

Parents start instilling a sense of confidence in their children from the time they are small babies. When a 1 year old falls when they are learning to walk Mom or Dad says "Come on, Baby, Up you get, you can do it" and when they try again they are told "Good Baby! What a smart baby". The more a child is told they are good at what they do, the more confidence they have about doing it.

True confidence comes from wisdom. Wisdom is developed by developing the mind and to develop the mind you have to first free it from illusions. From a Buddhist perspective the biggest illusion is the illusion of permanence in our experiences, seeing our experiences from the perspective of impermanence is the first step in the proper development of the mind. Once it is properly free of this illusion it can be freed of all the other illusions which bind it. Illusions such as the "self", other Defilements such as immorality and clinging, selfishness.
Once fully free, then you can excercise proper discernment of truth, only then will true wisdom follow. A wise person is always confident.

Confidence is pride in yourself. It's knowing that something can be trusted.
You develop it slowly, small victories building on one another.

From experience/habit.
In other words, by living a particular situation several times, you can feel "confident" about its outcome.

confidence comes from knowing who you are and it is developed by learning who you are and accepting yourself for just that! and not letting others persuade you to act different than you want to act!

The key to confidence lies in the voice and how strong and powerfully one is able to command their voice.
