I'm always amazed that people don't know the difference between being confident and being arrogant.
Or maybe they do know the difference, and they've just decided that they'd rather be arrogant and label it "confidence."
Somehow, confidence has become walking around sneering at everybody you see, making fun of others, and patting yourself on the back.
If that's actually what confidence is, why would it be considered a good quality?
I think for a long time I've been arrogant, and only lately have I really noticed that although I have loads of arrogance, the last thing I am is confident.
I have my moments of confidence, and usually it's when I'm smiling or surrounded by people I care about or onstage acting.
It's never when I'm being a bitch. When I'm being a bitch, I'm at my LEAST confident, and I'm just protecting myself by pumping up the arrogance.
Confidence should be having the guts to smile at the people you know don't like you, laugh with the people who do, and not worry about how cool you look.
I always think confidence is somebody dancing like an idiot.
Right now I can only be that guy in my living room, but maybe in two weeks, that'll change.
