Why is confidence so important?

Confidence is believing in yourself, feeling comfortable in your true-self, knowing you have worth. If you are confident, people believe you, confidence is attractive, brings success, helps to connect well with others and you generally feel happier. Only you can say you’re not confident. What excuses do you have stopping you from your confidence?
