Considering that verbal communication only makes up 10% of human communication, it makes sense that an authentically confident person wouldn’t rely on words to communicate who they are — they know how to just be.

Authentically confident people don’t need to use words to try to influence others’ perceptions of them. They know that who they are will be communicated through their actions, and they are confident enough that they 1. know most people will naturally have a positive perception of them, and 2. they don’t care if people have negative perceptions of them because negative perceptions of them are usually just projections.

Fantastic piece, Jessica — as always!
