True confidence is built over time through accomplishments, positive experiences, self-awareness, and intrinsic motivation. It is often developed through overcoming tough times and challenges. In contrast, intermittent confidence is fleeting and comes from external factors like listening to music or experiencing temporary success. Building true confidence requires consistency, proactive behavior, and a growth mindset. It is important to avoid relying on others for validation and to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Self-awareness, setting realistic goals, positive self-talk, continuous learning, resilience, a healthy lifestyle, and a supportive network are key in building confidence.

The conversation explores the differences between quitting and giving up. Quitting is seen as a deliberate decision to stop pursuing something because it no longer serves a purpose or is affecting one's mental health. Giving up, on the other hand, is associated with frustration, feeling like a victim, and surrendering to obstacles. Quitting is viewed as a choice that provides a sense of control, while giving up is seen as a lack of control. Quitting allows for planning and logical decision-making, while giving up is impulsive and lacks a plan. Quitting can lead to personal growth, while giving up leaves unresolved challenges and feelings of inadequacy.
