  • Am I overconfident? You kill me Tom!

  • Well, Marie, in your case, the question was rhetorical!

    Believe it or not, some people actually ARE overconfident...in fact, over the last, oh, 20 years or so, you and I have seen plenty of them! Merry Christmas!

  • My overconfident situations:

    1. Most situations and subjects when I'm drunk.

    2. I assume that if the idiot is smack-talking and provoking me, I can "take him"... especially if he is taller and/ or younger than me.

    3. I assume new people that I meet are dumber than me, especially if they are younger.

  • Let's talk remedies:

    1) after three drinks, shut up!

    2) make sure "the idiot" really is an idiot before smackin' back

    3) oh, that one's a problem...especially as you get older...how 'bout giving each new person a test of some kind before you get too carried away

    Good luck and Happy Holidays!

  • Great advice, cat. Thanx.

    You have a happy... er... whatever you celebrate. :)

  • Welcome.

    Same to you!

  • Your estimation on the height of Mt Everest was actually VERY close.  29,029 ft

  • How do you stay confident with your self without sharing how you feel at work? When your employer ask you to make everyone around you to get up to speed what do you do or say to keep from saying something smartass? I fell it is dumb when my supervisor askes me to carry my teamates work when they are having a bad day.

  • I got fired for being overconfident. Why should I get fired for being the best? If I was not doing well I would have understood but I was let go for not giving good moral to my co-workers for not being a team player WTF. Why is it when i'm paid at a low price why is it my job to do the supervisors job. I feel that it is hard enough to keep up with fast work why should I have to push and carry everyoneelse.

  • @piskekvist Do you realise..... how you sound ?

  • Over confidence is not entirely good for someone, it also has negatives. You qualify very easily to be ignorant.

    I think the best way a person can be is being humble. Respecting one's opinion and then having your turn to say something. Pause and just stay cool. Then again not ever personality trait attracts everyone. Everyone has a different personality and every type of personality is always offended by another.

  • Shut up with your dumb, psycho babbel bullshit allready! I can see why you're not overconfident, however don't bother people who are. You just sound like a dumb bitch. Shut up.

  • im over  confident sometimes.

  • How sad.

  • lol, nice nomal distribution graph, i betting thats the 3 Standard deviations from the mean? 68.7, 95, 99
