As a student, seemed like everyone was told to be more confident. Self-consciousness in HS; imposter syndrome in college In startup world, conversation is about over-confidence. Hubris of big ideas, need for compromise in the work place, assumed failure mode for decision making

As far as I can tell, the only way to make everyone happy is to operate stoically and only take conservative risks. Strong social incentive to be humble even if it means your strengths go unnoticed or under-noticed. Not worth it!

When I was younger, I thought I could balance out overconfidence by also voicing your uncertainty and asking for lots of input / criticism. While they don't cancel out, I still think this is a nice way to operate.
