Calling out the ‘Confidence’ imposter! Episode 8
On this episode of The Mindset Maniac, host Leslie Crevar talks about “The shield of protection that many people use, and it is often disguised as confidence.
Episode Highlights:
- Leslie Crevar talks about a commonly used phrase “I don’t care what anybody thinks about me.” We use this as armor.
- Typically, the intent of using this phrase is good.
- Focusing too much on what other people think about us can create sadness and prevent you from doing or not doing certain work.
- Leslie points out this kind of attitude can also be problematic because we need to feel up to a certain point about what others think.
- Imagine a world where people stop caring about what others think, how would it look? This is not confidence but false armor.
- Such behavior can be a sign that maybe the person cared but got hurt.
- Being on the side where you don’t care what other’s think, it may feel good. However, it prevents growth that comes from reflection and self-awareness.
- It’s easy to mistake this as confidence. This comes from a place of fear and hurt.
- The real armor here is not to not care what other’s think, but rather care about what you think about yourself?
3 Key Points:
- It’s easy to mistake this as confidence. This comes from a place of fear and hurt.
- The important thing is to find your balance. Not be in the one extreme side of the pendulum or other.
- Confidence comes from knowing, trusting, and loving yourself.
