real confident people are just confident because they are proud of themselves

I like to say the best way to gain confidence is to make a promise to yourself and keep it
Every time you make a promise or goal for yourself and achieve it, confidence goes up
Every time you lie to yourself, confidence goes down
Sure
But because we don’t step into life as some self-actualized perfect person (did you? Maybe you did, I sure didn’t), there are COUNTLESS times in life where we are in a situation where we have to fake it until we make it. It’s something we have all tried to do at one point or another temporarily to get through a particular encounter or event. Going through life always doing it is a recipe for disaster however
And having society put status on height whether you agree with it or not can be a (shallow) confidence reservoir that’s always available to draw on UNTIL, we reach a point of zelid52 self-actualization
