You cannot be very self-confidant at all, if you assume people are being so judgmental. If you were, anything would roll off your back.
I'm smart. And perceptive. One thing you learn being an introverted, attractive guy is that guys size themselves up against one another alllll the time. Life's basically a big dick measuring contest. So to use the gym example again (this is mostly when it happens because I go there to work out so never talk to anyone), when girls are looking at me and around me and I don't talk to them, most guys assume there must be something going on. Which is why some smirk. Or try to prove themselves by chatting up said girls. My favorite way to resolve this is to go up to one, have a quick few sentence chat, then continue being my mute self. Changes their tune real quick. Now why does this bother me so much? Not because I'm not confident. I very much am. I give zero sh---- what they think of me. What gets me is the fact that I can't go into a public place and do my thing without all this going on. I don't do that to others and I would appreciate it not done to me. Once again, life is a dick measuring contest. And to everyone making of the OP. I did have confidence issues for a long time when I was a teenage. Why? Because I am very introverted and don't like attention. And the amount I was receiving made me feel like something was wrong with me. Until I learned to cope. Now it's just annoying. Tis life.

Quick other point. I'm not full of myself. I always try to assume its something else first. The stain on my shirt, maybe I did something funny, etc. But when all those are ruled out and it happens day in day out...walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...If the vast majority of the world had true self confidence the world would be a much different place.

I envision you laying on a couch and getting through your issues in a few years at about $100 an hour.

Is your fly open?

And how does being an introverted, attractive guy give you better insight into this perceived phenomenon?

Maybe you're spending too much time at the gym, because it sounds like nonsense to me.

This reminds me of that old commercial:


"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."

Upon further review I believe you to look like Screech and this is just a troll thread.
