Unsubstantiated Confidence.

• Some people use the term “unfounded confidence (in oneself)” in a positive or negative sense
• Negative people see the “lack of evidence” as a problem.
• But what is this “basis”?
• How do situations arise that allow us to have confidence based on evidence?
  • success story is a basis for confidence.
  • But just because it worked last time doesn’t mean it will work this time.
  • Not enough to be able to logically base it on.
• Confidence in repeated successes.
• Inherently unable to have “well-founded confidence” in a subject that is not repeated
• You can’t have “grounded confidence” when trying something new.
• In this situation, the latter is preferable to those who cannot act because of lack of confidence and those who do
• If this is the case, then “unfounded confidence” would be beneficial.
• This is the way people think about positivity
