Two simple questions that bother me for quite a while.
Can you be confident when you know you look average at most, definitely not good looking? I mean of course you need to have confidence and show that, but what if you don't have anything to base this confidence on
And if so, how do you achieve it?
Pic to attract attention, I need your opinions anons

post height, and a pic of you, or someone that looks like you
insecurity is prolly worse than being average looking.
You don't have to be good looking to be confident. You have to be truly okay with how you look.

That's not how confidence work. That right there is meme-psychology 101 ''''''''confidence''''''''.
Actual confident people are confident regardless of the situation.

then its just arrogance. Confidence is the belief in the truth of something. you need a truth. confidence is not some all encompassing concept despite what we say here on 4chan. Chads and alphas as you call them are often not confident in anything other than their looks. sometimes its looks + jobs or what have you, but the point im making is it doesn't encompass their entire lives.
keep in mind that confidence in looks is not the same as confidence in getting the girl. the reason most chads / alphas as you call them arent afraid to approach women isn't that they 'know' they will get the girl, they actually get rejected a LOT. they just know that a girl rejecting them doesn't devalue them. they are what they are regardless of rejections.
beta's on the other hand believe that its a scoring system and that if they dont ask girls out, they can't get rejected, and therefore arent going to get some sort of 'lower score'. its dumb logic.
you can have confidence in anything. it could be what you're good at, or even just being confident that it doesn't matter if you aren't good looking cuz life has been otherwise normal for you.

Your mistake is thinking that confidence is influenced solely by one material attribute of the human body. Even super models' bodies will decay over time and lose their youthful luster and charm. The reason they seem extremely confident isn't because they know they 'look good'; it's because they know that they can 'use those skills to serve a purpose' in life. And that's ultimately what a lot of confidence is based on; knowing who you are and what you're capable of.
That's not to say human biases don't exist; handsome people are naturally going to attract more attention that ugly people. That's less their own fault and more of people's base instincts that good looking people must "obviously" take better care of themselves and thus have high esteem.
But the point of this isn't that external things determine your confidence. Rather, it's about how confidently you know who you are and what you can do for the people and things in your life. Friends, family, yourself, whatever. Only by taking the time to learn about who you are will you learn how to be confident.

Super models and other very attractive people who rely a lot on their looks are some of the most insecure people around. Don't confuse genuine confidence with apparent confidence.
You can.
but it doesn't mean that you will get laid.
