Can we take a moment to discuss the difference between these two commonly confused words, please?
con·fi·denceˈkänfədəns/ noun
con·ceit kənˈsēt/ noun
Okay. Now that that has been established; I think you can see the difference. Conceit takes confidence to a whole new level. Conceit; in my opinion at least; is when you don’t know when to stop talking about yourself to others. You may be confident or you may be insecure, but whatever the case may be- you never shut up. You don’t shut up about how talented you are (even though you may not be), you don’t shut up about how attractive you are, you don’t shut up about how everyone loves you, and you don’t shut up about how fucking wonderful you are. And quite frankly, it’s annoying! I am an advocate of the whole “self love” and learning to love yourself movement- but this is ridiculous! In my opinion; confidence is something you have that you don’t share with others. You keep it to yourself; and in doing so your confidence is radiant and others can tell you’re confident just from how you act. Because YOU know it. You don’t have to constantly walk around telling everyone or reminding everyone of your brilliance; they just get that from you because you naturally are. I personally believe that it’s great to have confidence. I think it’s wonderful when people appreciate themselves; and take pride in what they do and how they do it. That’s great! What isn’t great is being so insecure or so full of yourself that you feel the need to rub it in everyone’s face and even tear others down to build yourself up. That’s just awful. “Confidence isn’t walking into a room and comparing yourself to others. Confidence is walking into a room and not having to compare at all.” - Maddie
