It depends.

When I'm doing good things- get good grades on a test, get a solo for flute [I don't play Clarinet anymore], make new friends, receive a compliment, etc. When I do that, I have a lot. I feel good about myself.

But other times- Depression, fights, ESPECIALLY when I get a bad grade, I'm so hard on myself it's not even funny. I have little to no self confidence.

So really, I guess it depends

Lots. I guess... I'm always happy (perky, as my description says... it's true! :)) and I'm always in a good mood, so yeah, probably a lot of self confidence. Plus a few compliments and I'm self-confident. Probably..

I have very little self confidence when I am around someone my age or a few years older than me. It's weird, I shy up and act so stand-offish. I have alot of self confidence when I am around someone younger than me, even if it's just a few months younger; it's weird.


Also, when I tryout for a sport like b-ball or softball I lack in self confidence something fierce. I even shake at times. When I begin trying out I eventually ease up. It's weird though cause once I know I've secured myself a spot on the team my confidence is sky high. It's like I know I have the ability to make the team, but I don't trust myself...weird I know:crazy:

Online I have a lot of self-confidence.

Off-line, I only have a little.

Very little, I guess. I pull my hair out whenever a test comes along. I have one everyday, lol, so by the end of this year, I should be bald. :D

More than half of my life, I've had very
little self confidence. I'll leave it at that!

I can understand that. It's easy to be all cocky when you're hiding behind a computer screen - not so easy when you're face-to-face with someone.
I'd say my self-confidence levels are ok. I used to be really shy and reserved when I was at school but since I've been working out in the big wide world I've come out of my shell.
I'm hopeless when I'm around someone I have a crush on though. I like to think I'm smooth and all, but when it comes to talking to that person my brain just turns to mush. I think I do a pretty good job of hiding it though.....I hope!

HAHA, Yeah I think that most everybody is like that round a crush!

Cows don't have confidence. PERIOD. Then you bring in SELF confidence. Even less.

Moo, being the moo that I am, of course, has no self confidence atall. It's all from other people having supposed confidence in me. I'm like a sponge...I get what I'm given. But oddly enough I can ACT self confident! :D

**moo, the very real moo**

I'm just like Karli....it totally depends on the situation. However, I would say that I generally fall somewhere in the middle...average amount of confidence. But there are some things I am good at and I know I am good at them, and on the other hand things I am bad at.

I'm the same way. I really have no self confidence at all when I get a bad grade. Just last week I was crying over that B+ I got on a science test. When I'm not worrying about grades (even though I usually am I worrying about my grades even right now) then I still have no self confidence.
