In regards to the persona stuff last page:
I feel like most people that are confident aren't and are just pretending to be confident.
Isn't that the point of being confident?
Nah. There's a point in between 'not confident' and 'confident', that being how you think about it. Sure, you'd feel it, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the feelings are truly describing who you are, given that you've to interpret those feelings too

Yep. The point is to do it convincingly enough that you forget that you're lying.
Nope. The problem here is that you're thinking as if how you see yourself currently is 'exactly who you are', given how you apply the term of 'lying' to that situation.
That borders the lack of idea of not realizing the flexibility of choice, and the inherent nature of how attitude is created.
It's like the scenario where one commits a mistake, then they say they're a failure: who exactly is judging them there? Before, it could be others--maybe that's how they learned to judge themselves that way, but who continuously says it? And does that actually mean, that if I keep on saying it without anyone else to judge, that it is my choice, or is it just something I learned--and this isn't really me?
Stuff like that should be put into consideration.
