I thought highly of myself growing up. I still do. There's not really much somebody can say to me to bring down my confidence or anything.
If I've got a confidence problem, it's that my self-esteem is entirely too high.
A backup plan means somewhere in my head, I think I might fail and that word is not in my vocabulary. Plus I'm too talented to fail.
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
People love me. And you know what, I have been very successful. Everybody loves me.
I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy.
I have a lot of confidence because of my success.
If you have a smothering parent, the effect it can apparently have on a child is to give them, in equal doses, a sense of too much self-esteem, because they are mummy's little princess or prince, and low self-esteem. It affects future relationships.
Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else.
Both of my girls have very high self-esteem because they were both able to master certain things; I should think that's good for their confidence.
It ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em.
