CONFIDENCE comes not from always being right, but not fearing to be wrong and admitting it when you are...
You want to be right about how you see the world, so you seek out information that confirms your beliefs and avoid contradictory evidence and opinions - this is a false sense of CONFIDENCE and a show of cowardice and/or arrogance...
'Confirmation bias' is one the most dependable of all mental stumbling blocks - we so very often fail to learn because we fear finding out that we have been wrong in our way of thinking. We seem to find a sense of comfort in thinking that we are always right even though we really know that we aren't. We even go so far as to look for information to help support our misguided thinking.
