How to Build Real Confidence by Trusting Your Confused Mind | Dr. Becky Kennedy

When I think about the most confident people, like, I think about this girl who I went to Duke with, and she was just brilliant, like, so smart. We were in this seminar. It was one of these small classes where this professor was, like, talking about stuff. And, like, I, for once, I was like, I have no idea what this person's talking about. But, like, I was like, no one else was stopping. And this girl raised her hand and she said, I'm sorry if everyone else is annoying. Like, I have no idea what you're talking about. Like, is there any— because I usually do. And, like, is there any way you could say that in a different way? That is, like, to me, the utmost best version of confidence, that she believed her own experience of confusion was real confusion. She didn't think it was a sign she was stupid. She, she believed it. She believed herself. That is so confident.
