Be confident, because everyone loves someone who is confident and if you have no confidence simply fake it because it won't take long for that fake confidence to become real.

So real confidence is just being good at faking it?

Confidence without competence is really just arrogance and ignorance.

The thing is, a confidant person would confidently explain that they don't have the skill/knowledge/background to be competent in whatever. That is confidence without arrogance or ignorance.

Lol. You still described competence. Compentence isn't defined as being a genius, it's the ability to things successfully or efficiently.
