Stream of Consciousness Saturday, December 2, 2023: “confidence.”

I am participating in SoCS hosted by Linda G. Hill (click on the link for the ping back to the original blog post and to see the rules).

I had no idea what to write for this prompt, so I asked ChatGPT what confidence was. What really stuck out to me from the explanation was “Confidence is rooted in a positive self-perception.” This means that confidence is self-made. No one can give you confidence. And conversely, no one can take it away. You are the master of your own confidence. There is something comforting in that.
