I can't be alone in this.

This whole thread is kind of stupid because I don't think I've ever met someone who is that shy and older than 5.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

How do you tell the difference between being cautious and being passive?

Well, often times "others" fail to realize how complex a situation is. It could be that confident people are just not very bright on average.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Fair enough. I'm just saying that our over emphasis on "confidence" (which is usually just a thin veil for arrogance) leads people to act too quickly and with too little thought, just to impress people.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Intelligence does no good if you don't give the gears any time to turn before your gaping maw spews forth 'tardedness.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Another thing to note is that a lot of people who are considered not confident simply have communication problems. Maybe they're foreigners, maybe they have a speech impediment. That doesn't neccesarily mean they're cowards.

In fact, I'd imagine communication issues are the reason behind most people's lack of apparent confidence.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

We had an EMO thread?

FELIPE NO

Oh right. With the kid from the concert hall who was defending all emo kiddies as being brilliant artists?

How ya doing, buddy?
