True confidence, he argues, comes from understanding and trusting oneself.\n\nThe conversation highlights the following points:\n\nMistakenly believing confidence is external leads to constantly seeking approval and feeling insecure.\nTrue confidence comes from self-knowledge and trusting yourself to make decisions based on your needs.\nIt's important to be aware of cultural conditioning that might push you to prioritize giving over self-care.\nLike Mr. Rogers, focusing on your internal compass and taking care of yourself builds genuine confidence."}
