  • - [Narrator] Being a confident person is one

  • of the best traits that you could have in your life,

  • but being a cocky person is one of the worst traits

  • that you can have in your life,

  • and there is a fine line between being cocky

  • and being confident, and in this video,

  • we are going to discuss the major differences

  • between these two traits.

  • Confidence comes from a very authentic and whole place.

  • Cockiness is not authentic, and it's based in insecurity.

  • It's more about making other people think

  • that you're confident

  • as opposed to actually just being confident,

  • which is why cocky people tend to talk a lot.

  • A common trait that a lot

  • of cocky people exhibit is being overly loud

  • in certain social situations.

  • When someone disagrees with a cocky person,

  • they will try and overpower

  • and intimidate them by being loud with the hopes

  • that the other person will simply submit to them.

  • The reason why this happens is

  • because the cocky person is not comfortable

  • with the idea of being wrong,

  • and they are not open to new ideas.

  • Because of this mindset, it's very difficult

  • for a cocky person to grow and learn.

  • Also, cocky people tend to make more mistakes,

  • and they will start getting a little sloppy

  • because of their overconfidence and lack of humility.

  • Another very common trait

  • of cocky people is not giving other people

  • the credit they deserve.

  • When a confident and humble person accepts an award,

  • they will almost always acknowledge the people

  • that helped them get there.

  • A great example of a very arrogant person is Kanye West.

  • If you have ever watched him accept an award,

  • you will see that he takes all of the credit,

  • and he never acknowledges anyone else.

  • This is because he wants everybody else to think

  • that he did everything himself.

  • Confident people do not have an inflated view of themselves.

  • In fact, they will feel bad

  • if they didn't acknowledge the people

  • that helped them reach their goal.

  • Another big difference between being cocky and confidence is

  • that cocky people never like

  • to acknowledge their weaknesses.

  • A great example of this is

  • when a cocky person is incorrect is about something.

  • They will tell themselves stories, rationalizing

  • why they thought the way they did,

  • and they will often find someone else to blame

  • instead of just admitting when they are wrong.

  • Confident people do not need to do this

  • because they know it's okay if they are wrong, and they know

  • that being wrong will not reduce their self-worth

  • or their value to the other people around them.

  • When you are confident,

  • you can evaluate your own skills and self-worth honestly.

  • You can say to yourself, "I need to improve in this area,"

  • and you will put the work in in order to improve.

  • Of course, you have opinions of certain topics,

  • but you're always open to the opinions of others.

  • Getting another person's opinion will either strengthen

  • your own belief or make you change your own opinions

  • into one that is more correct.

  • It's a win-win situation,

  • and cocky people do not think like this.

  • Confidence is not something that you just get overnight.

  • It's something that you have to cultivate

  • over time by pushing yourself to go outside

  • of your comfort zone.

  • If the idea of approaching someone

  • during the day is terrifying, then you should do it.

  • If the idea of asking someone on the street what time it is,

  • then you should do it.

  • You cannot think your way to confidence.

  • You have to feel your way there.

  • In the words of the great American philosopher,

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson,

  • "May you always do the thing you are afraid to do."
