Talk:Confidence

message: This article does not read like a page from an encyclopedia. It reads like a page from a self-help book. It's unnecessarily flowery and dramatic, and the structure of the first sentence is extremely confusing.

thread_title:  Non-encyclopedic nature 

message: someone added original research tags to sentences in this article, while this may be the case, I find those words to ring particularly true, as if I've heard that elsewhere
I hope someone can cite works that come to the same conclusion because I also found the way those sentences were put together enlightening 67.212.7.249 (talk) 07:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  original research ? 

message: Overconfidence can be a pro or a con. It is overall harmful and blinds one's perception of failing. Being overconfident keeps one from acknowledging loss, and thus does not create any secondary actions in case events go wrong. This includes retreating. When one is aware of their chances of losing, one can accurately weigh the consequences of continuing or quitting.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.204.130.21 (talk) 02:26, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Middle ground between being confident and overconfident 

message: It would be good to point out words for being overconfident in other people or things, but arrogance and hubris don't work, those can only refer to the self.35.8.141.143 (talk) 20:43, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: What is this?!

message: Do they differ in any measurable way,  I would actually import this article into self-confidence and rename self-confidence just to confidence (which semantically is merging it into this, but practically is way easier the other way around).Ethanpet113 (talk) 08:00, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

text: Reading the article, only later reading this talk to merge confidence and self-confidence, it felt, apart from the first paragraph I was reading a self-confidence article. I believe self-confidence should be the title and maybe linked to concepts of confidence under Confidence (disambiguation) FrazWill (talk) 13:59, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

message: Some articles cited regard self-esteem and not self-confidence. It's regarded as a different attribute and has a separate wiki article. 213.8.241.210 (talk) 12:51, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
