There’s a reason chads are stupid

>>9854880
look man I can't keep going through my life being a weak willed "uhh I dunno guess I gotta go research it some more" kind of person. "are we sure about that? I need to check and rethink it some more". NOBODY likes hearing that shit, not just dumb chads.

I want to produce quality work but I also want to look confident and sure of myself. There must be a way to pull it off, how??

Be chad and you'll be fine

>housemate is really charismatic
>basically really confident and willing to speak about anything
>realise he's basically just pretending to know things and his advice is not always good
You can either be "logical/correct" or you can be Chad. You have to lie/exaggerate/simplify sometimes if you want to be Chad.

talk about easier shit
lol

>>9854871
>How do you pull this off
Have high testosterone/be born with a dominant personality. Be me.

>>9854893
First, start with instruction of self.
Second, know that others are the story you've yet to experience.
Third, allow some anons (like myself and who I'm referencing) to guide you.

Math-based confidence is a thing and you can all get it, geometrically.

>can't tell the difference between intelligence and personality

>>9855094
You can be both you brainlets. Jerky jocks can be smart and shy nerds can be stupid. The correlation between intelligence and introversion is very small, so there are is a significant plurality of very intelligent extraverted people who score low on neuroticism (i.e. aren't insecure like you losers).

Separate your professional and your private life
Loads of people have this problem; you're not alone.

>>9854871
Deception. Acting confident is just a play on evolutionary baggage from the caveman days. In reality humility is much more virtuous but that doesn't earn you wicked hot slash or research grants.

public confidence is just low social anxiety from a reduced fear response
it doesn't get you closer to the truth, but it's a useful heuristic to see if someone is knowingly lying
obviously the person has to be naturally fearful/"honest" and not a psychopath for this heuristic to work well enough
plenty of people pass polygraph tests because they don't exhibit anxiety when lying

so your real question is how do i produce less anxiety when articulating my opinion in public

>>9854871
I don't see how being in science/math would be in any way a hindrance to confident behavior.
You can say you don't know something, it doesn't necessarily make you look weak.

>Wow, anon, does this mean you made [huge discovery]?
>No. We don't know if X is Y, or if Z is W, so we need to look in more detail into both X and Z before we can say anything with certainty.

You might not know what X or Z is, but you know what you need to do, and if you're competent, you'll also know how to do it.
That's more than enough for confidence.

Mathematical dick goes THUNK son! Well played, I salute! If you're a woman here is your honorary pair of external arguments for pain (testicles), and woof.

>>9855333
I haven't the faintest clue what it is you're trying to say.

>>9855343
Oh, so you're the Y this time in the {X, Z} exchange?

>>9855356
Entirely possible. But do note how I kept up a supremely confident demeanor.

>>9855376
Well if that isn't worth your dick getting sucked then my lips have never heard a man whimpering as I made him grateful that I unloaded his 'burdensome thoughts' in one swallow.

>high testosterone
>posts anime pic

please fuck off

How about not trying at all? Start with not asking people in an aboriginal basket weaving forum.

>>9855399
My testosterone level is 986 ng/dl. What's yours, faggot?

>>9855431
That is an awesome place to take an argument. Woof woof.

>>9855435
I know right? You can't beat quantitative arguments.

>>9855448
That's what """THEY""" said! HAHAHAHAH

you aint gona make it brah

fido = trust.
to confide, is: with trust.
confidence = trusting yourself, self belief.
do you believe in yourself? like do you really know? true confidence cannot be imitated, learned it is an honest state of being.
narcissism = false self-love
true confidence = true self-love
if you play games like cutting off the heads of others, you are not truly confident. a true leader, which you should somewhat aspire to, does not have to go about bossing others around instead they build others up etc.
that's just one example that springs to mind.
when you know thyself, know you are pure and doing great and helpful things in the world - you are only doing good and have much to believe in.

>>9855684
Why would that be the only virtue of confidence?

>>9855327
Yeah but nobody wants to hear that answer of "No. We don't know if X is Y, or if Z is W, blah blah blah".

Nobody wants to hear that. That's how you become the boring science nerd. What people want to hear is "Yes. We have made this amazing discovery and it's going to change everything."

I want to give people what they want. But I also want to be honest and competent.

>>9854871
>How do you become a person that exudes confidence and certainty when you're in science/math related field?

with optimism and hope? Random corporate buzz-words?

>>9856130
You shouldn't care what people want to hear. The truth and your reputation are both infinitely more important than what some fags want to believe.
Most people will make amazing discoveries maybe once or twice in their entire lives, if at all.
You have to decide if you want to go the way of the borderline liar in a desperate attempt to please people, or if you want to walk the straight and narrow.

There is a crisis of reproducibility in science right now, and if people get to know you as a dependable, level-headed person, this, and other scandals will never touch you.
A rock-hard, reliable reputation is not cheap, in the exact same way lying about how great your research isn't either.

>That's how you become the boring science nerd.
Not if you come off as someone who cares more about integrity than about what people think. Most people can tell if someone is a genuine person overall. They might not be able to tell if you're lying at any one time, but they can tell if you're fake.
If you're always solid, eventually people will know you as the guy who can be trusted, and there's tremendous value in that.

Although, based on you post, that ship has probably already sailed...

>Humans love it when a person is confident and shows certainty in everything they say.

By "humans", you mean exclusively 20 year sluts at frat parties

>>9855310
I like this approach. How do I produce less anxiety when articulating my opinion in public?
