In my experience, men who label themselves "nice guys" (as in "nice guys finish last" nice guys) are either underconfident men who lack personalities and/or require substantial emotional maintenance OR they follow the traditional (gallant door-opening male, delicate swooning female) gender notions in a misguided attempt to be nice. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Underconfidence can get you stuck somewhere you wouldn't be stuck at a time when your confidence level wasn't as low. Allowing yourself a little room not to fail but not [being afraid] to fail can sometimes make a difference in how something you do turns out. You won't expect to always fail every time that way, even if you don't expect to do a good job at something. The point isn't to be a stupid fuckin hero on a piece of cardboard, no matter what an [announcer] thinks you have to be, it's to not feel like you have to be anything but who you are (and to not feel like you have to do anything but [what what] you have the ability to do if it's what you always really wanted to do), no more no less. ❋ Solid Mantis (2020)

It was [underconfidence] that cost them the game. No matter what the coach said, or how much experience he had, they knew it wasn't their egos that cost them the game. A [4-8] record doesnt come with an oversized ego, it comes with a lack of confidence in your ability. Where a little bit of added confidence at times there was a lot of pressure [could be the difference] at the end of the game. Nobody naturally performs well under pressure. Nobody naturally handles a setback or a loss well. Nobody naturally deals with another person's desperation (to win at any cost) well. ❋ Solid Mantis (2020)

It's just as irrational to be underconfident as it is to be any other way, and that's why it's just as human. ❋ Solid Mantis (2020)

Underconfidence is when no matter if you had a [lead] or not, you always really thought the other team was more likely to win, and you kept yourself from [winning] based on that [mentality]. ❋ Solid Mantis (2020)
