people are complex ...
I think there are types of confidence as well that all go towards the total package. Your dick is only part of it and, to my mind, the LEAST important of part.
I am confident i am smart and able to mentally handle different situations because I made sure i finished school and i study and read and question and so on.
I am confident I can handle myself on the street because I have been doing martial arts for 10 years (prior to this even my “friends” used to beat the shit out of me)
I am confident I can handle myself emotionally because I have come through some badass trials and I have the strength to pick myself up, rebuild my life and carry on.
I am confident I am a good person because I have a strong moral code and follow simple rules like “don’t screw others” and karma > money” etc.
And finally thanks to PE i am now confident about going to the trough at a packed pub when i am pissed and not having some little drunken weiner. Erect was always fine and my girls loved me in bed but flaccid (especially drunk) freaked me out, especially when the toilets were busy and I had to share the trough. No longer.
These are all different facets of yourself and all contribute towards your self image. A man may be hung like a horse but dumb as a post and lacking confidence because of it. So many elements make you what you are.
You are in control of your own destiny. If there is something you don’t like about yourself you have the ability to change it, all it takes is the choice to do so and a shitload of hard work (its never fucking easy is it??). But then as soon as you accomplish your goal there is no greater feeling than enjoying the rewards that you sweated and bled to earn. I am glad PE showed me a way to change a part of myself i felt was less than i wanted.
