I'm slow on the uptake; so many times I've been pulled in by a very confident speaker confidently saying things I don't really understand - then when I check, turns out he's actually wrong about quite a lot. This is super disorienting and I don't understand that at all.

If you're dealing with a really complex or nuanced system, you should get an allocation of 1 confident thing to say per year; everything else you say should be "I suspect" or "it seems like this indicates".

But for ppl who are very confident, particularly about very difficult subjects, what is going on in their heads? It seems like they're doing a separate thing from truth-finding, which is something like... deliberately making particular maneuvers in social reality space.

Which like, might also be valid and in some instances leads to good things, I don't know cause I don't understand it - but whatever it is, it's not the default way I assume ppl operate, which is "have a really damn high bar for expressing confidence"

When people do this; and I later find they don't know nearly as much as they implied they did, I find it impossible to take them seriously again.

I went through this a lot in my youth. In my twenties after hashing out a lot of the things other people were so confident about I finally felt confident enough to just be like ok no that guy/girl was just a confident idiot. Confidence can be so deceiving.

This is a neuroatypical trait. Neuroatypicals feel confident when they know they are right. Neurotypicals believe they are right when they feel confident. Huge difference.https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1412464623568101378 …

Maybe but I dono..I consider myself neurotypical and I really don't operate like this and actually had to learn to be more confident in my own positions if I have tested them and to not weigh in to others confidence and rather just focus on their positions.

not only does this get me every time but then I also waste a lot of energy getting mad at the confident person for misleading me and trying to get them to understand why I’m mad
