[Tuesday] Discussion: Confidence

**Join our discord:** [https://discord.gg/sXmd8MRvmr](https://discord.gg/sXmd8MRvmr) **Confidence** is the trust we place in our own abilities, judgment, and worth. It influences how we speak, make decisions, take risks, and interact with others. Confidence can grow through experience, encouragement, and overcoming challenges, but it can also be shaken by doubt or criticism. It’s often confused with arrogance, yet true confidence usually includes humility and self-awareness. In this discussion, we’ll explore where confidence comes from, how it changes over time, and how it shapes the way we show up in the world. 1. How do you personally define confidence? 2. When do you feel most confident in your life? 3. Can you remember a moment that significantly boosted or damaged your confidence? 4. How does confidence affect the way we make decisions or take risks? 5. What is the difference between confidence and arrogance? 6. How do relationships with others influence our confidence? 7. Can someone act confident even when they don’t feel it? What effect does that have? 8. How does failure or criticism impact confidence? 9. What role does self-talk play in building or undermining confidence? 10. How has your confidence changed as you’ve grown older or gained experience? 11. What habits or practices help you build or maintain confidence? These are just some of the questions we will discuss during our meetup. No preparation needed, just bring yourself and a willingness to listen and share your thoughts. The meetup will be structured in a way to promote small group discussion so everyone has a chance to listen, be heard, and really dive into the discussion. \- \- \- \- \- \#\# How our discussions work * **Each meetup has a clear topic and guiding questions.** We stay with them so everyone gets the conversation they came for. * **This is a reflective discussion, not a debate.** The focus is understanding and exploration rather than persuasion or winning an argument. * **We
