An observation

one is standing up for yourself and what you believe in, the other is just manipulation rephrased.

I'm strange then, I have low confidence but high charisma? I'm really likeable, in fact people often see more and believe more in me than I do myself, to the point where I used to feel like I was getting fucked with.

A girl did say I was at least super confident in my beliefs, but other areas need work.

>Majority of women are beautiful
lol no
the instathots and models posted on Jow Forums are not a representative sample

>one's position in the social group, so the most charismatic, energetic and interesting men within a certain group are seen as the highest social status
Interesting and energetic men aren't necessarily the highest social status, it's almost always the most confident of the group that takes the leader position. Confidence comes from past success, you are more likely to succeed if you are good looking.

In a social situation, confidence is expecting everyone to go along with you because you are right (in your mind). Most people are insecure so they will side with you if you are sure enough of something, within reason.
Charisma is your skill in being likeable and convincing in conversation. I mean it is essentially social manipulation but you didn't learn it from someone else and it doesn't have ill intent

imo you're talking about conviction rather than confidence, but that's semantics. both are things you need
don't talk about this shit like its game stats, that's part of the problem. find one thing about yourself that you like, and focus on that. start finding more and more things, and realize that some of the things you don't like are perfectly okay

remember dude, you're not ugly, you're just not your type

that’s an excellent way of putting it desu. definitely gonna hang on to that one

glad I could help, good luck in your endeavors user!

Most women have awful personalities so I don't get why people keep saying this as if it's obvious. Unless it's trolling.

There's a minority of women I like and they usually like me back. I mainly just have horrific social anxiety

Referring to this specifically
>do you lie to yourself because you can’t admit you have an awful personality?
