I think what it is, Kate, is that there are different types of confidence. You can have a very, very strong internal core of self-affirming beliefs that you're almost narcissistically confident about but be awkward about going about it in the external realm and projecting yourself in social situations. I think a lot of people assume someone's unconfident based on outward demeanour (because that's all they see) but in reality that might be only half the story at-most. I feel like everyone's got things to do with them they're confident about and things they're not so confident about.
