Confidence means "belief in others or yourself, feeling certain, trust, and a secret". (Oxford Dictionary)
Confidant is "a person that you trust and who you talk to about private or secret things". (Oxford Dictionary)
So how is confidence made.. by your confidant? If one doesn't have any, does this lessen their confidence? What do you think? Where do you get yours?

I get mine based on all of my life experiences. I try to recall the bad and good out all decisions so that this way if I have to repeat something in life I feel that I have made my own decision in doing so. If I fail at least I was confident enough to have trusted that I made my own decisions.
Not trusting in me would not make me secure enough to be confident in the the future.

Even in the spelling of color also.
"color" is USA English,
"colour" is the UK English, isn't it?

Confidance is knowing yourself well enough to have confidence. How is confidence made? It is a feeling about ones self and knowledge that does it. A confidant is kept in the know because of trust and consistency. Those two things make for confidence and keep on the track.

I think that having a confidante can increase one's level of confidence because typically that person is providing encouragement. I think though that the majority of one's own confidence needs to be self built because it will be there for you when no one else is around.

There are many people who have little faith in his ability. They ask "What are able to do? What can I do to influence how it will change my life? "You can do the most remarkable things, no matter what kind of winter life throws your way. Human beings can do remarkable things that are remarkable. You and me are not amoebas, fish, birds and dogs. We can make something out of nothing, we can turn pennies into fortune and disaster in triumph. Instead, an animal that begins and ends all one animal. The reason? It's just an animal. It has the ability to create. So you have to accept that you are remarkable. Take advantage of your uniqueness! Enters deeper into your self and bring to light more of your gifts remarkable human. They are there, waiting to be discovered and used. Remember: you can change all things well when you change yourself for the better.
