Confidence and Boldness

Thing that I have a problem with is often I have boldness not confidence…It’s like, i’m so petrified by fear sometimes, that I just fucking push myself so I do the approach, I ask the girl to come home with me (apocalypse opener) or whatever. Thing is, once I get in a set, i’m so forced, my adrenaline is going so much, that it gives off a fucked up vibe.

Confidence and boldness are distinct attributes and sometimes people misinterpret boldness for confidence. I can relate to the quoted excerpt because some of it applied to me. The ultimate goal is to become confident and not necessarily bold. Confidence is an attribute of the person while boldness describes an action. Unfortuantely to achieve confidence some people create a path that requires them to be bold.

Charisma Arts has a concept called alpha nice. Alpha mean, however, would be a combination of boldness without confidence.
