There are two types of people who are extremely confident

Highly confident individuals are usually divided into two types: overt and covert, with significant differences in their psychological mechanisms and behavioral manifestations.

Externally manifested individuals with extreme confidence often demonstrate their sense of self-worth through high-profile words and actions. These individuals habitually dominate social discourse, exhibit open and exaggerated body language, and show a clear defensive posture towards criticism. Their confidence may stem from frequent successful feedback received in their early growth environment, or a sense of superiority formed through social comparison. However, excessive outward confidence may mask potential insecurity, and some people may use aggressive postures to maintain their self-image, which can easily lead to interpersonal conflicts in team collaboration. Typical manifestations include habitually interrupting others' speech, immediately refuting opposing opinions, and attributing failure to external factors.

Individuals with implicit extreme confidence maintain their psychological advantage through stable self-awareness and do not require external recognition as support. These types of people usually have a clear self-worth evaluation system, exhibit strong goal orientation when making decisions, and tend to analyze setbacks rationally rather than emotionally. Their confidence often comes from long-term accumulation of professional skills or cognitive frameworks formed by deep thinking, such as experienced experts or meditation practitioners. However, excessive implicitness may lead to a disregard for external feedback and miss opportunities for improvement. Typical features include calmly accepting different opinions, demonstrating ability through actions rather than words, and maintaining an equal reflective attitude towards success and failure. Moderate adjustment of both overt and covert self-confidence can contribute to personality development. It is recommended to enhance self-awareness through mindfulness training, conduct objective self-assessment regularly, and cultivate openness to others' perspectives while maintaining core confidence. In the workplace, you can try to record the specific attribution of success and failure to avoid falling into a psychological pattern of excessive self reinforcement or excessive defense. If the state of confidence has seriously affected interpersonal relationships or self-awareness, professional psychological counseling can be sought for cognitive behavioral intervention.
