Different Types of Confidence

-

Hey Guys x

About 2 years ago (I can't believe I've been holding onto this post for so long!) I had a conversation with a friend about confidence.

I can't really remember the main point of the conversation, but she said that she thought that I was confident. I proceeded to laugh both inside and outside - confident was a way that I had never been described before (and probably won't be again to be honest).

When I asked her why, she said that she thought I was confident in myself - I know what I like and don't like, I know what kind of person I am.

That started me thinking about different types of confidence.

Is it possible to be completely confident inside and with yourself, but completely unconfident outside, where everyone can see you?

I don't know the answer to this question, but I do kind of agree with what she was saying. If you're not confident with who you are inside, there's no way you could be completely confident on the outside. I guess you could fake that confidence, but to be really confident, you should be confident with most aspects of yourself - I think...

And I guess I am confident with myself. I do know what I like and don't like.

I'm completely comfortable reading a book or writing a blog post when the popular people are at the pub getting drunk off their faces.

I also like the person that I am, which I guess helps. I enjoy being me. I enjoy being the person who reads and writes a lot and gets obsessed with Marvel and the Star Trek Reboot. The person who may not speak in class but is up for sharing their deepest darkest secrets with you over the phone at 2am. The person who could spend hours upon hours playing sims but won't bother putting on make-up before going to Uni. I like being this person and I hope that I continue being this person forever.

And I guess that does make me confident. I'm confident in the type of person that I am, and the person that I want to be in the future. I'm confident in what I like and what I don't like, I'm confident in some aspects of my life right now, and that makes me happy.

Thank you for reading.

Comment below your specific type of confidence.

    I'm the sort of person who gains confidence in front of different people, the more I get to know them and find out if I get on with them or not.

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Merry Magic Christmas | Blogmas Day 14

  It's Blogmas day 14! In the lead-up to Christmas a financial advisor (Patricia Isaac) helps a theatre director (Andrew Dunbar) keep his theatre running. To be honest, that might not be an accurate description of the film. Not only have I completely forgotten what the film was actually about, I also forgot that I watched it! So this entire review is coming from the notes I made while watching, because for some reason it's a really forgettable film. I didn't get a great first impression of either of the main characters, and because of that, neither of them were particularly likeable. Not only was this the second Blogmas movie based around a theatre, but it was also the second to prominently feature 'A Christmas Carol' as the show the theatre was putting on. Could we please retire this now? There's a bit of chemistry between the main characters, but they just didn't work well together for me. I never quite bought them, and the potential romance wasn't som...

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Plus One | Blogmas Day 18

  It's Blogmas day 18! When sisters Cara (Emily Alatalo) and Amy (Vanessa Smythe) make a pact to find their soulmates, and a year later Amy is getting married, Cara sets out to find her true love. And she does... until she loses his number. This one had a fun premise. I'll admit I thought more of the film would be about the sisters finding love together, but either way I was looking forward to it. It ended up being a bit disappointing. As already mentioned, I really wish that it had been about two sisters who are both finding love. Dangling that in front of us, and then making it a generic one-couple love story with no attention on the sister at all was a weird choice. Speaking of the sisters, their relationship didn't feel as authentic as it needed to be, considering it was the catalyst of the story. I never really believed in, or cared about, the main couple. They did have nice chemistry, but it wasn't good enough to carry the film. I didn't really connect with an...
