Do people lose confidence around someone they judge to be more confident?
If yes, why?
Answer:
No. People loose confidence around others who try to appear as more "authoritative" than they... or more "powerful". If the situation is one based on heirarchical "power plays", then all the people in the situation, including the one "on top", become intimidated and "fight" to appear "bigger" than everyone else.
But as for confidence, if one finds themselves in the presence of another who appears "more" confident, it usually encourages others to be more confident, because the "use" of confidence is not a competitive activity. Confidence is a personal inner feeling, not an external group behavior dynamic.
not really, but you feel like there is a difference between you two. If he or she is cocky and confident, then i won't feel well around them. If they are open and warm hearted and confident, then they can help you become more confident in yourself, by being good role models.
I don't really get intimated by others. I get intimidated by myself. I can't seem to get out of my own way. I don't fear other people. I fear what people think of me and things like that.
If you're playing sports with someone like this, they will find a way to overpower you and win. Look at Tiger Woods. His mind is his biggest advantage.
For example as well, why was Ghandi so powerful? His mind and confidence, and warm-heartedness. He was probably the most peaceful guys ever.
I sometimes get the misconception that confidence is about being fierce and taking charge (thats totally wrong). Confidence is about feeling free and being who you are, and who you want to be.
Yeah i just saw that "fear of being judged by the more confident one" below me.
Thats called self consciousness. It means you have less confidence than someone, like you feel less than them, inferior to them. It's all in your head. We are all supposed to be equal, but we dont turn out feeling that way.
Yes, because it would make them look inferior.
I think, from my personal experience, yes. Because it is very probable that if that person sees that the other is more confident, then she/he feels judged by the confident one. It is kind of fear of mistaking.
Some people just have the personality that just sucks the air out of a room. The best explanation I have ever found of this is in the Left Behind series of books. Not that I think it is a factual writing, It just has a very good in-site into peoples personality's and how they affect others.
sad to say, I do ... and I'm pretty confident!
In my opinion, yes. If someone is less confidnt then someone else then they get a vibe that the more confident person watns control and because they are less confident they give the control to them.
