Thanks!

if I have nothing else, I have confidence... popularity has never interested me and it’s not about to start now... I could give a damn if I'm popular or not.

MissMe said:

I feel confident - I don't really care about being popular
I am quieter if that = "shy" okay
and sometimes I choose the "wallflower" experience as well but overall I am confident

Even when i am low i appear confident ....its my job.

Then again i have a smokin' butt so it hard not to feel hot

Back at ya beautiful

Totally depends on my mood. It's like flipping a coin.

In general, I'm detached from my surroundings as I'm intorverted so I have alot of thought processes going on inside. But sometimes I work a crowd. It really just depends.

Where I sometimes clam up is when folks are expecting me to be funnier or smarter than I really am. I often have friends introduce me to people as this really witty, funny guy----then I feel like Larry David trying to stumble through a lunch living up to expectations.

At work I'm extremely confident most of the time.

I'm anxious when I'm working, and feel like I'm on top of the world when I go out. I'm shy and a bit of a wall flower once I'm out, but when I'm hyper, I totally let go and it's a good feeling.

by virtue of my position as a senior leader in my unit, I HAVE TO exude confidence, bordering on arrogance.....if I come across as timid or weak, my troops will literally run roughshod....and I can't have that.....of course, theres that level of confidence that comes from being able to do the physical crap much better than the 20 year olds that work for me....

....

Fully confident...everybody knows it

I just feel the same, wherever I am.

Wearing masks for different social settings is anathema to me - as are other people whom do this.

I wish I knew how to answer this thread in a concise way; after about 4 attempts, however, I'm giving up. But I relate to sooooo many responses on this thread.


I think people who don't know me would say I am confident; and a lot of my mates expect me to be strong/confident. I *am* confident about certain things, confident in who I am/what I stand for, for example. But it hides a huge shy, self-conscious side to my personality which frustrates me greatly. I think it confuses the hell out of a load of people - it just comes across as weird. It's an internal battle, really.

By confident, I'd say I feel pretty secure and comfortable with myself.
As far as popular, I don't think, nor worry about others' perception.
When I was much younger, I did.
