Confident women are not perfect. They do have flaws and commit shortcomings like the next person, but when they are in the room or among a crowd, their presence doesn't go unnoticed.
What makes confident women distinct and remarkable? It's mostly about attitude. Science has identified that confidence in women aren't the same and as common as confidence in men, according to The Atlantic. However, they do have similar qualities that make them fearless, self-assured leaders.
1) They perceive they are important.
This isn't a boastful attitude, but it's more about knowing and recognizing their capabilities. They're not defeatists, they're positive and forward-thinkers who know what they can achieve and do so with success. This attitude and self-perception is developed at a young age, according to Forbes.
2) They admit to their flaws and limitations.
Confident women are not blind to their imperfections and make an effort to improve themselves or use their flaws to their advantage. They give their flaws a purpose and recognize that this is what makes them unique from other people, according to Elite Daily.
3) They can say no.
Women oozing with confidence don't have any problem with rejection and understand that it's sometimes healthier - in whatever type of relationship - to say no. They're likely less stress because of this, too.
"Have confidence in your 'no' when you think it's the right decision, even though it may not be the most popular one," said life coach Suzy Greaves, via NHS. "In the long term, your ability to say no will be one of your most valuable attributes."
4) They take responsibility for their choices.
They know every choice has consequences and they are accountable for all of their decisions - whether this leads them to success or failures. Thus, confident women are more empowered to make better choices so that they avoid going down the wrong path.
5) They are supportive of others.
Confident women shine because they let others shine as well. They take pride in the success of the people around them, and encourage those that need more motivation. They're not out to compete with anyone but themselves.
