I'm not sure what you're referring to by "it" here. So I'm not sure what to comment on

I meant 'it' as everything we've come to know from our existence.

I guess it makes me feel unknowledgeable and lost in that, everytime I learn something new, it brings more questions to think about.

And yeah, when I wrote that post, I was exhibitng such a low feeling. It's really confidence that I want though. Although I used Masuimi as an example, it may not her style of confidence in particular that I want, just confidence in general...to do the things I want to do and say things that I mean to people(it's never anything negative though). Online I could do it, but in person, I get quiet.

Is confidence really a good thing?

I equate confidence with conviction, which can be a dangerous thing. Psychologically speaking confidence is often correlated with happiness, but I think it comes at a trade off of "open mindedness". I think there is a happy medium to be reached.

Still, I know what you mean. I think I can relate to you on some level and so I empathize with your desire.
