You make confidence sound like a choice and confidence is about as much of a choice as building a house is a choice.
Now that American Pyscho example was bad. That is just an example of pride and weird rationality. Its pride to think you have to always be better than someone. Its weird reasoning to a business card is something to fight over
Your ego isn't how you think of yourself your ego is your need for attention basically.

Now that is a direct definition. Here is a great article on the ego.
http://deoxy.org/egofalse.htm Hopefully you can see where I am coming from after reading this and understand what I am talking about.
Confidence is absolutely a choice, building a house is a choice as well, just like confidence it requires you learning a lot of different things to create the right house with a proper firm foundation and to your style. You choose to build your confidence through your actions or you choose to hurt confidence through your actions and mental awareness (lack there of). It is absolute conscious effort.
I agree it was weird but bad it is not. HIS EGO CONTROLS HIS ACTIONS LIKE YOUR EGO CONTROLS YOUR MINDSET. Egos are something you need to keep in check. It wasn't a reason to fight over it was literally him killing him because his business card was nicer. It was his lust for being the best. The ego is just as irrational with most of it's emotions why do you care if someone thinks of you a certain way? Or if you have a worse business card? How does it actually effect the value you hold on yourself?
If you think you can break me down you've never actually met someone like me. People give words value, I do not. People take things personally I don't care. Go watch my videos call me stupid whatever I don't think you could possibly ever break me down. This is something you don't seem to understand I understand interrogation, I understand finding someone's life source and taking away. Embarrassing, humiliating, taking everything including intimacy away.
I understand more then you do about using the power of imposing fear on others. You can't break someone when you don't matter, I understand more about then mind you realize. Let me tell you how bad I was at a point I was referred to as Victator the Dictator (my name is Victor). I once had a contest to see how many people I could make cry in a month (6) at work. (Not something I'm proud of). A manager pissed me off once and at that moment I decided to make her cry and did. It isn't hard to do that to somebody but when you understand their tactics they lose their affect. When you have confidence it doesn't matter, nothing else does. It really has been the best thing I've ever worked on.
I understand perception and why it is important to know what you are going to be perceived as but at the same time I will never let anyone influence what I perceive myself as. This should be your perception of confidence. Every judgement of you is based off a behavior, a behavior isn't who you are, it isn't your value, you give yourself your value and other people will agree if you have social skills.
Peace and Love,
Vic
Confidence is not a conscious choice. Confidence is more a product of your experiences. If you don't understand this you will always be too hard on people and including yourself.
The ego is nothing more than how you think of yourself. It is your identity. You're ego is not what must be kept in check, its your behavior that must be kept in check. On the inside you should feel like a giant.
http://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Giant-With ... 0671791540 The problem is not the ego. The problem is self-discipline.
Everyman can be broken and you are a man. This is why you protect yourself. It's not smart to take damage. It's not about taking someone's life source or any of that. Its about instilling self-defeating beliefs and feelings into a person...
Victor the Dictator? You know people don't change right. The memories, thoughts, and feelings that motivated you to be cruel in that way are still within. That's probably why you keep trying to impose this bull crap upon me.
Ultimately, a man wants to be solid mentally. Do you know what that means? That means he is so confident that nothing can shake his belief. That means he is so motivated that nothing can shake his resolve. His body will give out before his spirit. However, everyman has soft areas that can be penetrated. Protect yourself.
