Where is your confidence on scale 0- 10?

Where is your confidence on scale 0- 10? When 0 is having panic attack just asking a female assistant for sugar in grocery store and 10 is totally fearless like being able to approach girls in groups, with parents, in front of other people with zero anxiety.
Mine is usually 6, there are days it’s like 5, other day I can be like 8.
6 is an average.

I think I average somewhere around a 7-7.5
I'll approach sober, and solo, but I don't tend to go for girls in huge mixed groups or girls who are obviously with guys. I'll do it, but I get a little apprehensive and it probably shows, which is something I need to work on. I don't escalate quite soon enough, and I don't sack up with reality destroyers often enough.
This time last year I think I was probably a 5.

Mine is generally at 8 or 9. Being overconfident, however, can be very dangerous.

How so?
Well I suppose you probably wouldn't have much of a problem, but I had a friend once try to take on an MMA fighter at a bar, and he got sent to the ICU for two weeks.

I don't know. I don't give a fuck how a woman responds to my approaches. I've been rejected so many times it doesn't matter. Rejection is the norm...acceptance is the exception

My confidence was never a problem, even for the few years I was an obese fuck.
My problem was charisma, at least during my 20s.
Charisma > confidence.
Confidence, probably a 9; charisma a 6 because of high IQ and lack of filter. Need to work on it as I get older, my dad (at 72) is a charisma natural (a 10, easily).

I would say I am in the 2-3 range.
I tend to take rejection too personal. I need the work on this.

What, no poll?
Cold approach in unfamiliar environment.
4.
Working on it though.

Well I suppose you probably wouldn't have much of a problem, but I had a friend once try to take on an MMA fighter at a bar, and he got sent to the ICU for two weeks.
Whole story?
My friend and this MMA guy (he's not professional but he's stacked) were already on bad terms over sending girls text messages. It had been going that way for a couple of months, they were basically chasing the same group of girls.
These two dudes accidentally met at the bar and the MMA guy said something like "How was my sloppy seconds, man?" So apparently my friend got really pissed off and shoved the MMA fighter into the bar and called him a "stupid f***** n*****r" in front of everybody, so the MMA guy literally grabs my friend and hurls him out into the street, then used his head like a speed bag against the asphalt until a couple of dudes pulled him off. My buddy said he didn't remember any of it. These days a lot of people think he survived a car accident, because you can still see road rash where his eyebrows should be.
I just figured that my friend was confident that the MMA guy wouldn't kick his ass, or that he stood a chance in the fight. I would have just politely left. Haven't seen either of them in a long time.

your friend didn't understand that keeping his ego in check is very often best way to win. but we all have this stupid urge to always have the last word
