If you’ve ever wondered why confidence feels so elusive — like something other men have that you somehow missed out on — this one’s for you.

In this video, I dive into what confidence actually is, and more importantly, what it isn’t.

After working with nice guys and people pleasers for years, I’ve noticed a common pattern: most of them have spent so long compromising who they are that they’ve completely lost sight of it.

When you live your whole life trying to be liked, approved of, and validated, confidence doesn’t even make sense as a concept anymore. You’re operating on a totally different system.

The problem is that this system asks you to constantly trade pieces of yourself for approval. You hide what you really want. You soften your opinions. You suppress your preferences. You become agreeable, flexible, and “easy to be around.” And at first, that might seem to work. People don’t get upset. You avoid conflict. You stay safe.

But over time, the cost is brutal.

You stop trusting yourself. You don’t know what you actually want. You feel invisible, disrespected, or taken for granted. And ironically, you don’t even get the results you were aiming for in the first place — better relationships, attraction, respect, or connection. You end up losing both yourself and the outcomes.

In this video, I explain why real confidence doesn’t come from impressing others. It comes from impressing yourself. Confidence is a byproduct of living in alignment with your own values, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it risks rejection, misunderstanding, or upsetting people. Especially then.

That’s where integrity comes in.

Integrity isn’t about being perfect or moral. It’s about being whole. No split between who you are and how you behave. No different personalities for different rooms. The same person at work, at home, with friends, and alone. When you live that way consistently, self-doubt starts to disappear — not because life gets easier, but because you trust yourself to handle it.

I also talk about what I call “micro-honesty”: small, daily acts of telling the truth about your preferences. What you like. What you don’t. What you want. What you don’t want. What you agree with. What you don’t. These aren’t dramatic confrontations or big speeches. They’re tiny moments where you stop betraying yourself to keep the peace.

Those moments add up fast.

I share a real client story about how one small, honest confession — something most nice guys avoid their entire lives — completely changed a man’s confidence, dating life, career, and self-respect. Not because the outcome was perfect, but because he proved to himself that he could handle the truth.

That’s the real shift.

If you’re tired of being liked but not respected, agreeable but invisible, safe but deeply unsatisfied, this video will challenge how you think about confidence in a very grounded, practical way.
