“The self-confident woman is comfortable in social situations, even if she is shy. When this woman goes to a party, she’s secure in her own desirability. She doesn’t waste her time comparing herself with other women, or trying to blend in, or looking to others to dictate how she’s going to behave. If another woman attracts attention because of her looks, it doesn’t make her feel badly about herself. There is always going to be someone richer, thinner, smarter, and better looking— and thank goodness, that doesn’t matter. She’s unaffected by superficial things. She is neither intimidated nor overly impressed because a guy has looks, money, or high status. She knows that she is worth more than all of these things.”
