Confidence Quote by C. JoyBell C
““The problem when you are a strong, capable, self-confident person, is that more often than not, people think that you don't really need things like comfort, reassurance, loyalty and guidance. People are more likely to look at you and say, "She doesn't need this", "She doesn't need that", "She's already all of this and all of that". But then the truth is that most probably, you are a strong, capable, self-confident person because you built yourself brick-by-brick into that person; because you HAD to BECOME that person; because you had determination enough to make yourself into the image that you knew you needed to become. At the heart of many strong, confident people, is a heart most longing of the things that most others simply take for granted.””

It's all in how you embrace yourself, your faults, and…” quote by John Slattery](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5c7/john-slattery-19038_be-confident_if-being-confident-stems-from-a-self-est_3223490.jpg)
