Self-Confidence is the degree to which you trust yourself and your ability to deal with challenges, solve problems, achieve goals and engage successfully. Self-confidence and self-esteem are often used interchangeably, as if they mean the same thing when in fact, they do not. They are very different. Self-confidence is outward-facing and often easier to build than self-esteem. It is possible to be confident in your abilities and have low self-esteem.
