Some persons come across as conceited when it’s really confidence. How do you tell them apart? It’s hard sometimes. I thought about this as I sat listening to someone one day. It was obvious he was tremendously confident but the way he spoke and carried himself could come across as conceit to others. How is it that some show that confidence but give off a humble vibe and not conceit🤔. Is it how they speak, is it the volume of the voice? Is it that they constantly take over the conversations? I was thinking about this as I saw the two personalities in play one day recently. Both persons are confident there was no doubt but one was loud and the other soft spoken. When I sat analyzing them I saw something I never thought of before, the pitch and the loudness of the voices were factors that would make you decide that one was conceited and the other was not. It has no scientific validation but that’s what I saw and who to tell maybe other do too. I wonder. 🤔
Now thinking about it maybe that’s why persons will state they don’t like someone because they are so conceited even if they don’t know them and have no reason to think that way. It could be because that the feeling they get from the individual. Maybe they are just loud and not necessarily conceited but that the association persons have. Brashness doesn’t necessarily mean conceit. I know persons that are not loud and brash but are conceited. They go beyond the confident walk and talk. They think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Those personalities just make you cringe. The thing about it is that they can’t see the issues. One because it’s themselves and they are so close to it and that’s just how they are. Or are they? I was thinking that many really have inferiority complexes and try to hide it. They can’t allow themselves to just slip into the background away from the limelight.
I like sitting in the background and watch people. It’s extremely interesting. That’s when you get to see persons as they are. In some instances loud, brash and conceited. In other instances low volume, brash and conceited. The confidence is not shown as it’s over shadowed by the other traits. Maybe it’s just me because I never want to be the center of attention. Especially when it’s not in a good way.

I think people who appear to behave in a conceited manner are confident. It becomes problematic when they believe they are the best in whatever area(fill in the blank), & disregard others’ abilities, skills, accomplishments. They are only able to ‘see’ themselves in an almost superior role.
Interesting. It’s as if confidence is the foundation of conceit. Humble should be the way we do things.
I don’t believe confidence is the foundation of conceit- more of us would be considered conceited:)))
it’s more of a love for self without regard for others.
I agree that we should live humbly- we can be confident & humble.
Got it 🙏🏽
