Confidence is too often confused with competence.

Humans are easily tricked by facial expressions.

Look surpasses depth, and it's a shame.

Try to be consciously attentive.


I was always doubtful, and stingy to give my trust to people and informations, too much and you fall in a state of paranoia, yet i think it's important to develop one's critical faculty at an early age.
Then when you grow self confident, you are able to relativize and search your informations by yourself without losing your individuality in any group, or exposed to any random information.

Self confidence and critical faculty make a good balance.
