They Seem Confident… But Are They Really?
I’m 17 and currently in high school. I see a lot of people who are extremely confident, and for whatever reason, I feel like I should be more like them because they seem “better.”
But looking at it more objectively, these guys aren’t really that great. I’d say they’re pretty average. They have a lot of bad habits, they don’t have something meaningful to work toward or a real sense of purpose, and they’re not trying their best every day. So all that confidence feels more like an image they project to others. Deep down, they’re not that different from anyone else.
Still, a lot of the time I let these guys make me feel inferior, and I end up acting out of fear, thinking “what would they think?" and giving their opinions way too much importance.
So clearly, part of the solution is to stop putting them on a pedestal. But I’m still curious to hear what you think. Have you ever experienced something similar?
