- 1自信心
Self-confidence is the feeling that you can do things well — that you will be all right, that people will be fine with you. It lives inside you. Confidence can also mean “I trust her” (confidence in someone else). Self-confidence is only about you. Parents and teachers try to build it, and people speak of it kindly. Though actually, English speakers sometimes mix it up with being loud, or with thinking you are better than everyone. That louder thing is different. A person can have a lot of self-confidence and still be quiet and kind. You will hear it at school and at work: “You need more self-confidence.” It is a normal noun, a little tidy and grown-up. You do not usually make it plural, and you do not “a self-confidence.”
From the word’s history
self- + confidence.
由 self- 加 confidence 組成。
組成self- (yourself) + confidence (a sure feeling / trust). From self- + confidence. The self- piece comes down through Old English self.
