Confidence is a quality that many people have. Its negative impact is that it inclines to excessive and unjustified confidence in one's abilities, strengths, skills, abilities and in the presence of eternal good luck.
Reassessment of one's strength is a completely logical, normal state of human nature. It is thanks to this quality that discoveries are made, new spaces are explored, records are set and worlds are conquered. Arrogance lives a separate life and guides a person. She is a separate mind that knows and knows everything, understands everything better than others.
Overconfidence comes from childhood
This is why overconfidence is thought to be recklessness. Usually this quality is inherent in children under 10 years old who have not yet learned to doubt themselves, who believe that they can do everything, and sometimes even try to fly. Smart parents can always unobtrusively explain, prove the opposite to the child in order to bring him out of the fantasy world into real life.
Superfluousarrogance can be inherent in a young athlete conquering new heights. So, the task of the coach is to teach the ward to focus energy on real opportunities that will lead to victory, and not on a fantasy result inspired by self-confidence.
Overconfidence is a matter of psychological sciences
Overconfidence is the most common psychological problem. It is possible that internal conflicts are the cause of its occurrence. Naive thoughts and to some extent the ex altation of one's abilities is arrogance, a synonym for which is ignorance. It pushes a person who does not have the necessary knowledge and skills to do things that he may regret in the future. Or, with a positive outcome of the event, instills feelings in the person that inspire him.
Criminal arrogance is a matter of life and death
At the same time, a new degree of psychological problem is generated - criminal self-confidence. It is this quality of a person that carries a potential danger not only for a person suffering from this defect, but also for the whole society. A clear example is the arrogance of a doctor. Of course, if the doctor does not take on the treatment of the most hopeless cases of the disease, then there will be no need to talk about any progress in medicine.
But the criminal self-confidence of the doctor makes him rely only on his own opinion when making a diagnosis and choosing methods of treatment, which, unfortunately, can be fatal.
The given example from medical practice is the most striking, butsimilar shortcomings can occur in people of different professions. Perhaps their overconfidence will not cause such a quick reaction, but it may result in no less problems for themselves and for their environment.
Impunity is the cause of overconfidence
Probably inexperienced arrogance is the result of a lack of punishment. So, when performing actions, a person who does not know punishment unnecessarily hopes only for a positive outcome of his plan. This person assumes that the power that she possesses will be quite enough, her plan of action is ideal, the only correct one, leading straight to the goal. For such people, the only right decision always belongs to them. This is precisely the main problem of their adaptation in society.
Such people not only do not have friends who understand and approve of their behavior, but also very often make mistakes. This applies to almost all areas of activity: both personal life and professional.
This is the main reason that makes you struggle with this psychological problem. Here, professional psychotherapists and daily hard work on oneself will come to the rescue.
