    Nah it is a feeling. It just impacts your behavior. Like fear impacts your behavior, or anger… Or hunger…

        Of course, the other person only see the actions and technically it could be a performance, but you will fail to perform it if you don’t actually feel it.

          Ehh, narcissists are notorious for performing confidence perfectly, even though they don’t feel it. On the other hand, over the years, I’ve seen many men who don’t meet the attractiveness standard have plenty of what would be called confidence, if an attractive man had it. And a few very attractive men who are shy and awkward get plenty of women pursuing them nonetheless.
