People with high self-confidence are generally happier and better able to cope with unfavorable conditions. High self-confidence provides a sense of security. It can also give people a sense of purpose, and the belief that they are productive members of society. In contrast, individuals lacking in self-confidence are more insecure, and their belief in their ability to reach their goals is weak. And when others are successful, people with low confidence may feel jealousy and envy. Low confidence leads to low expectations, reduced efforts, increased anxiety and poor performance.
