If you like yourself as you are, you free up energy to be genuinely interested in other people. You engage in active listening and ask sincere questions. In turn, people will respond positively to your attentiveness. Ambition is not a crime. Confident people relish achievement and contributing their talents to the world. Cocky people need to believe that they are on top even if reality says otherwise.
This can lead to unnecessarily manipulative or callous behavior as they focus on defending a power base at all costs. As a self-confident person, you accept that you are just a human being.

Cockiness is rooted in validation outside the self. Confidence is rooted in belief in self, the validation from others may or may not come. Cockiness may also be rooted in a deeper need to prove something. Danny Greeves , Confidence and Mindset Coach.
Confidence is a natural state. This is such an important distinction. When someone is confident, it means they have a clearly defined boundary of their areas of competence and expertise, as well as an awareness and appreciation of their weaknesses. Confidence is therefore the result of having an objective and fully rounded perspective.
