-body language
-eye contact
-self assurance
-experience
-love of yourself
-stick to own opinion

However, when I have good body posture and act confident and do everything that would make myself feel and appear confident, it actually makes people less attracted to me and even look down upon me. The reason is, they see it as arrogance. My display of confidence comes of as arrogance to other people

So my question is, what is the crucial difference between confidence and arrogance and how does one become truly confident while completely avoiding arrogance?
Those who misconceive your high level of confidence
are those who lack confidence within self.

It's not about pleasing all people it's about presenting
and caring yourself in the fashion that radiates within
you.

I've received many compliments from others on how I
carry myself. Some even say I carry myself as if I own it.
I kindly respond with, "I do! I own me!"

I believe as long as you know your intentions, you're
walking in the right direction. I see too many people
who walk with slumped shoulders, head and eyes to the
ground. And they can't make eye contact. Of course they will
perceive you as arrongant. Tell them to look up so they
can catch up with you.

Continue to make this an Awesome day!
