Narcissism And Confidence

Charlottesville

April 3, 2023

The way to tell the difference between narcissism and confidence is to see how it affects other people. Narcissism, by definition, needs to diminish others in order to maintain a sense of comfort and security. Confidence is a comfort and security regardless of what others say or do.

Confidence is not expressed through bravado but rather vulnerability. A confident person does not feel a need to prove that they are right—rather, they are simply comfortable in the fact that they may be wrong.
