I do this a lot, like I think my macro is just fine, but it could definitely use some refinement. I need to work on a lot of little things that I don't think matter all that much when in fact that's how you get better. | ||

Be around people that you can be "yourself" with. Worked pretty well for me. yeah im finding that to be true. and being more open about things. just like Travis said :D | ||

Don't feel bad (assuming English isn't your 1st language) because he didn't say it very clearly at all... OP: I know what you're talking about I think. Even if overall you lack self-confidence you can still be overly confident in certain areas and in certain situations. | ||

After thinking about it, I believe it revolves around confidence, knowledge and the balance between those two things. 1°) While one doesn't know shit, he still can be very confident. It's easier to make a choice, less options to chose from, or he can just act. That "fake" or "naive" confidence makes him very annoying for the wise. He can also be more shy, less confident. He doesn't know shit, after all. This humility is easier to accept. 2°) On the other hand, if one does know his shit, you expect him to be confident about it. He's the man, after all. So his display of confidence, supported by his knowledge, is accepted. But when said person appears not confident, it's also annoying for everyone (him included) because his behavior weakens his words/actions. Hope it, somehow, makes sense. | ||

Unwarranted confidence and deceptive humility both impede progress. | ||

if you have low self confidence it gets easier to put everyone else down. its sort of a way to manage your low self confidence by falsly raising it. could also be projection (psychological term) | ||

Dunning-Kruger effect This leads to a perverse result where less competent people will rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. See also Downing effect and illusory bias/superiority bias/illusory superiority http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority Edit: and here's a part accusing you of being nerd with adjustment problems A longitudinal study found that self-enhancement biases were associated with poor social skills and psychological maladjustment. | ||

I've only taken one psych course, so someone may correct me here but, as far as i know your brain is extremely complex and it could very easily teach itself into somehow rewarding thoughts that mask your lack of confidence through an illusion like this. Your brain does a lot of predicting rewards and then giving actions higher priority that give it more rewards (through neurotransmitters that are pleasureable) | ||

insecure people either a. only think about their weaknesses or b. dont acknowledge them at all and only focus on one area where they are confident | ||
