Self-confidence is trust in oneself. Self-confidence involves a positive belief that one can generally accomplish what one wishes to do in the future. [2] Self-confidence is not the same as self-esteem, which is an evaluation of one's worth. Self-confidence is related to self-efficacy—belief in one's ability to accomplish a specific task or goal.
Self-esteem is confidence in one's own worth, abilities, or morals. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself (for example, "I am loved", "I am worthy") as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame. [1]
Canadian-American psychologist Albert Bandura describes the difference between self-efficacy and confidence as such: [86] the construct of self-efficacy differs from the colloquial term 'confidence.' Confidence is a nonspecific term that refers to strength of belief but does not necessarily specify what the certainty is about.
One's self-perception is defined by one's self-concept, self-knowledge, self-esteem, and social self. The self-concept is an internal model that uses self-assessments in order to define one's self-schemas.

The second one is the real self which is the objective view of one self and who we really are. Rogers emphasized that healthy development is when the real self and the ideal self are accurate.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines "arrogance" in terms of "high or inflated opinion of one's own abilities, importance, etc., that gives rise to presumption or excessive self-confidence, or to a feeling or attitude of being superior to others [...]." [24] Adrian Davies sees arrogance as more generic and less severe than hubris. [25]
The psychology of self is the study of either the cognitive, conative or affective representation of one's identity, or the subject of experience.
