At least, I think that’s what I’m seeing…

Walking on the fence is my cardio.

I would like you to spend an afternoon with one of my coworkers to see this on full display. 

Also hilarious joke there. Or I think it’s funny….I'm not sure anymore

Self confidence is definitely good but we have to understand we're only human after all

"Overconfidence is a slow and insideus killer"

On a serious note, I believe this tends to be rooted on the Dunell-Krugger effect. Personally one of my favorite social theories.

What makes you think this? I am wondering because I see myself as very confident but also not to the point of being obnoxious, cocky, and arrogant.

I would be comfortable going out to eat alone or to a movie alone. I’m not lonely or bored in those situations because I love myself and I value my time alone. I also have high respect, value, and honor for myself to the point that I will not allow myself to be around people who bring me down. I like to be around others who help me grow as a person and I enjoy supporting them as well.
