Self Confidence is a funny Term

These are my observations.

People can get Self Confidence from many different influences in their life:

1) Others: "Well he thinks im pretty, so I feel pretty" etc
2) Running others down: "Gawd I'm glad I look so much better than her"
3) Self: "I am proud of the person I am and I am going to treat me how I deserve to be treated."

I know I know, I think this is a lame summary of something more, but anyways....

What I was thinking was... We often mistake #1 & #2 for being self - confidence, when really it has nothing to to with " self" at all.
