17) They Don't Tell Themselves Stories
They don't tell themselves things like "I'm too old," or "I'm not smart enough," or "I'm not attractive enough." They don't hide behind denial or limiting beliefs that simply offer and excuse to remain stuck in status quo. They are real with themselves even when the truth seems daunting.
18) They Don't Put Things Off
The reason people procrastinate is because a lot of times people are frayed afraid of change failure or maybe even success. Confident people don't put things off.

Confident people don't force your views on anyone religious or political beliefs. They have a clear understanding that these beliefs and choices are personal for everyone.

20) They Don't Compromise Their Values
Having 'defined core values' values give foundational principles to any pursuit in life. They use these values as they make decisions in both life and work even if it means giving up something desirable in the short term.To conclude:
Confident people take care of themselves, always aim for the best they can and are self acceptance of who they are.
