Confidence
Confidence is a belief in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment. A lack of confidence, or self-doubt, may be expressed through hesitation, insecurity, and a lack of conviction in one's actions and decisions. On the other hand, overconfidence is an excessive belief in one's abilities, which can lead to excessive risk-taking behavior that is not grounded in reality.
