Arrogance isn't over confidence, it's just being a jerk while confident.

And, yes, you can be over confident. It's generally a result of a lack of self-awareness, and realized only after it's too late.

No. McCain was just *projecting* confidence. He knew what was happening.

Are you confident in making this statement or are you merely projecting confidence?

Be aware of the strengths of your short- and long-term opponents. You are over confident if you dismiss your opponents or believe you don't have any. Only the dead compete with no one in capitalism.

fixed.

I range from no confidence to too confident. I seem to have no in between Sounds to me as if you're lacking in confidence. IMHO, you're being "too confident" is merely bluster to cover up your lack of confidence.

Buck up! Anyone who plays Civ and posts on Poly is a bright guy.

You just need a few more well deserved 'atta boys' to boost your spirits.

That is so wholly an inaccurate representation of events it makes me think the choice of picture is very apposite for you.

What made you think Oerdin thought it was an accurate depiction just because he posted the picture?
