Is confidence a function of how people treat you

Confidence can be a nurtured trait, but if you're here you weren't nurtured to be confident, so you need to rough it out and act the part even though you're a smelly talentless beta bitch boy, robot.

It doesn't always work. I met a cute 8/10 guy who was overly confident saying he was 100% sure he can win me over. It was super annoying how suave he was too, like he was king of the world. Needless to say I rejected him, if he acted more shy or down to earth maybe it would have worked.

It's cyclical. Each is a function of the other. When one is treated well, one is confident, and when one is confident, they continue being treated well. However, if one's confidence is undermined or broken, they cease presenting confidence and receiving the good treatment that allows them to continue being confident, leading to a downward spiral of ever-decreasing confidence. Fake it until you make it.

I think this is the best answer, I would postulate that it is a feedback loop.

Are there any confident people who are not chads/stacys?

Nope. As someone who has only recently found it, experience has taught me that it's from achievement. Go pursue things you love and that fulfill you.

post tiddies, or get out fag

Here's what I do:
I'm just confident in how fucked up, weird, depressed etc I am -- I am not a normie and I do not want a normie girlfriend. Being honest and confident in your social and psychological flaws is normie repellent and those girls were never worth it anyway, since in order for them to like you you'd have to pretend to be something you're not. So I embrace it, admit it and the confidence and freedom that comes from this is profound. Insane matches on Tinder. I had to buy a pro OkCupid acct a while back because I kept hitting their 500 message free limit, and i'm in the deep thousands now.

...but of course, I am a failure, too socially anxious to talk to anyone let alone hot grillz so I just browse these sites to try and give myself an ego boost and show people like me for who I am but at the end of the day, I hate myself, living in total social seclusion for 4 years has made my social anxiety disorder horrible beyond belief to the point where replying to people much less meeting up is out of the question and I am "confident" I only have one way out if you catch my drift.

I get what your saying but how can you portray that over a tinder account? You advertise your psychological flaws?
