Yeah. That's not confidence. So what you see in a situation like this is that person believes in themselves. They might have a high self-esteem, but their confidence is low because it relies on the external world. So esteem and confidence, of course, you know, are absolutely different things.

But the true power of confidence, the guys who did really well talking to detainees, the guys who do well in sales, the guys who are good therapists or good clergy or good parents are very confident and they make other people confident. So even somebody that's around you with social anxiety, we think, oh, if I just kind of crumble down a little bit, it'll make them more comfortable.

But it works the opposite. You know, it makes them feel bad, too. Now it's like double awkward. So somebody who has a natural confidence, even if they're around somebody that has social anxiety, they lift them up and they bring them up. So I noticed that that was one of the key things. And it wasn't just military. It took me a while to realize that it wasn't just interrogations or stuff like that.

It was everything. And I realized I wasn't learning everything. hardcore intelligence skills. I was learning human. This is just applied to all humans. It took me a long time to figure that out, but I didn't think anybody outside of the military would ever be interested in this stuff.

I think that that might be that I don't think they're talking about confidence because if confidence made you ruin relationships, Emma Stone would not be a badass. Yeah. She's one of the most naturally confident people on camera, off camera that I've ever met. And that's true confidence. So that doesn't need to put anybody else down.

And I think the trouble comes when you have a confident person who is unconsciously thinking about status on a very regular basis. They walk into a new conversation and they think, where am I? Am I on top? Am I a little below? They may not be trying to climb. They may not feel the need to be on top all the time, but they're thinking about status probably more than they should.

And that bleeds into their behaviors.

No, I absolutely do because there's no such thing as faking it. If you act confident, then you're confident because other people will see confidence. So I think fake it just means that I'm doing something without mental permission from myself to do it.
