"What is confidence, anyway?"

For a lot of people, it's only bluff. It seems to be so habitual with them that they either don't understand it can be anything else, or they simply can't admit it.

Actual self-awareness, for one's own feelings and motives, seems to be pretty rare. That's why so many people want to "find themselves" - they don't know what to pretend to be, and haven't grasped that they don't have to pretend.
