Self-confidence refers to assuredness in your own worth, abilities and power, regardless of the situation you are in. Someone who is self confident has a strong sense of belief and certainty in himself/herself. He/she exudes calmness, composure and is self-aware.
Self-confidence is often linked with possessing of certain knowledge, skill sets or abilities, whether it is acquired or innate.

Someone with absolutely no competency in something can still be self-confident. We will discuss this in detail in the later half of the article.
