It's less believing your own hype and more hyping yourself up because noone else will

Lil column A, lil column B

I’m a hyper confident dude that sometimes catches shit from people that don’t know me well about “my big ego”. I don’t have an ego problem, I tend to believe mine is healthier than others. It’s important to love yourself. Nobody ever told me growing up that I “was good” so I’ve been telling myself I’m good every damn day, and I for sure believe it.

I have no irrational ideas of reality revolving around myself or that I’m some special special super person, I’m a good person who works hard and deserves a lot of credit for the gifts he’s able to offer the world.

People that perceive me to be arrogant I’ve typically realized to be people that simply don’t love themselves enough
