Self Confidence is a positive attitude of oneself towards one’s self-concept. It is an attribute of perceived self. Self Confidence refers to a person's perceived ability to tackle situations successfully without leaning on others and to have a positive self-evaluation.

So the concept of Self Confidence enjoys important position in the theories of human behavior and personality and is regarded as a basic condition of human existence in modern day world by many thinkers.
