What's the difference between authentic confidence and fake confidence? The answer is: one comes from leading with your heart and the other is comparable to a shell. Real confidence means allowing yourself to be seen and acting in alignment with your true nature. It means bravely exploring what it means to be you. Fake confidence is a protection mechanism that just feels different. You can tell when someone around you is using it. You probably feel gross after using this yourself. However, we use this to protect our hearts. Unfortunately, by putting up walls and living in a shell of yourself you block yourself from genuine connection- with yourself and others. I love you guys and remember to have compassion for yourself as you explore this topic in your own life.
