Is there a difference between confidence and self-confidence?
I define self-confidence is being secure in yourself and your abilities. This is different than being confident, which draws on evidence of things you’ve been able to do or achieve in the past.
Is confidence just an act?
Confidence is a verb. We have to make this mindset shift and think of confidence not just as something you feel, not just as something you are, but something you do. Confidence takes action and acting confident isn’t just in your thoughts; it’s also in how you carry yourself.
Why do people act confident?

How do I know if I’m confident?
Truly confident people don’t mind being proved wrong. They feel finding out what is right is a lot more important than being right. And when they’re wrong, they’re secure enough to back down graciously. Truly confident people often admit they are wrong or don’t have all the answers; intellectual bullies never do.
Is acting good for confidence?
Acting in front of an audience is another way that acting classes can improve your confidence. When you stand up in front of a group of your own peers you can expect good feedback, and (usually) they will be gentle with you. A good acting class will also break down your inhibitions.
