RE: Why is humility mistaken for timidity and confidence for arrogance AND The Vice-Versas. ??

in #life7 years ago

Confidence, to me is an act that can be learnt. Some are born with it others like myself ,have to learn it. Arrogance set in when we let our confidence and our pride share a bed. When will do not put our pride in check, we end up being arrogant.


Humility is also a learnt trait while timidity is a product of fear. A humble person knows when to speak and when not to. So in the midst of valueless conversations, they remain quiet at all times which is similar to what a timid person will do except that,the timid acts in fear of what might happen if they were to talk.

I've noticed a word that is trending. Fear. Briefly , how will you define humility ? Please ,if you don't mind
