Abstract

Self confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. People who lack self confidence can find it difficult. Self confidence is a positive attitude of oneself towards one's self-concept. It is an attribute of perceived self. Self confidence refers to a person's perceived ability to tackle situations successfully without leaning on others and to have a positive self-evaluation. A self confident person perceives himself to be socially competent, emotionally mature, intellectually adequate, successful, satisfied, decisive, optimistic, independent, self-reliant, self-assured, forward moving, fairly assertive and having leadership qualities. Having self confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything. Self confident people may have expectations that are not realistic. However, even when some of their expectations are not met, they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.
