For example, an accomplished performer might still feel stage fright, but she can draw confidence from the knowledge that she\u2019s experienced and skilled, and that audiences love her shows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown adds that <em>defensiveness <\/em>comes from a lack of grounded confidence\u2014we feel the need to protect ourselves from anything that might disrupt our self-image or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/sense-of-self-worth\/\">sense of self-worth<\/a>, so we immediately turn to justifications and excuses for any negative traits we have and any mistakes we make.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-confidence-code\"><em>The Confidence Code<\/em><\/a>, the authors note that the commonly accepted image of confidence is <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-confidence-code\/chapter-1#prevailing-image-of-confidence\">how men traditionally express it:<\/a> We imagine someone boasting about his skills, forcefully making decisions, and rolling over anyone who tries to argue with him. However, confidence doesn\u2019t have to be loud and aggressive\u2014someone who can listen quietly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/be-decisive\/\">make a decision<\/a> calmly, and admit when he doesn\u2019t have all the answers is also displaying confidence.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong><em>humility<\/em><\/strong><strong> is grounded confidence combined with a willingness to learn and improve. <\/strong>While it\u2019s often considered to be the opposite of confidence, Brown says that humility is actually a <em>function of <\/em>confidence\u2014we have to be secure enough in ourselves to recognize when we might be wrong and when we have room to grow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown sums up humility by quoting another of her books, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/dare-to-lead-book\/\">Dare to Lead<\/a><\/em>: <strong>\u201cI\u2019m here to get it right, not to be right.\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/dare-to-lead\"><em>Dare to Lead<\/em><\/a>, Brown continues her discussion of humility by saying that humble people are those who ask questions, think critically, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/dare-to-lead\/chapter-1-3#defense-12-needing-to-be-right\">admit when they don\u2019t know something<\/a>. In contrast, people who lack humility act like they know everything: They refuse to ask questions, believe their ideas are the only good ones, and clash with anyone who disagrees with them or proves them wrong.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The near enemy of confidence is <\/strong><strong><em>hubris<\/em><\/strong><strong>, which is an overblown sense of our own capabilities that\u2019s not tied to any actual achievements<\/strong>. Counterintuitively, Brown believes that hubris is actually a function of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/consequences-of-low-self-esteem\/\">low self-esteem<\/a>. Much like defensiveness, people who lack confidence feel the need to build themselves up and defend themselves from any negative attention\u2014even (or perhaps especially) negative attention from themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A side note: Brown adds that people often use the word <em>pride <\/em>when they mean hubris. <strong>However, pride is a healthy and positive state of satisfaction with achievements\u2014our own or someone else\u2019s.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: There are stories and cautionary tales about hubris dating all the way back to ancient Greece, notably the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.litcharts.com\/literary-devices-and-terms\/hubris\">story of Icarus<\/a>. Icarus\u2019s father gave him a set of wax wings that allowed him to fly, but in his hubris, Icarus ignored his father\u2019s warnings and flew too high. The sun\u2019s heat melted the wax, and Icarus fell to his death. This story illustrates how hubris can lead us to believe that we\u2019re invincible, or that we know better than anyone else, and the dangers of thinking that way.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What exactly is confidence?
