Well then, I'll try one more time (but only one)
Over compensating in one area of our life..., (such as over confidence)..., simply means we are lacking inâ¦, and trying to cover up â another area
=============
There is no such thing as an over abundance of confidence
When one is confident⦠then one is confident â period
=============
Any âoverageâ in any aspect of our life â is simply our ego being displayed⦠and an attempt to cover up an inadequacy in another aspect
Hence my reply; emotionally mature
=============
Now, you can agree... disagree⦠interpret this reply as malicious⦠or take it in a million other interpretations (ways)
Or you can simply accept it ⦠and improve yourself (iow grow up)
=============
As with all things â it is a choice (always)

The market will deal with your overconfidence. Hope you enjoy losing money.
CF,
I am not qualified to diagnosis anyone other than myself
So I cannot.., nor would attempt it
===========
What I do know.., human nature being what it is;
When we overcompensate in one area⦠typically we are lacking in another
============
So; could it be lack of self control?
Reading the OPâs original postâ¦and using a little common sense/ critical thinking â one could reasonably say â likely
But even then.., lack of self control may only be (and likely is) a symptomâ¦, and the actual cause â any untold number of underlying issue(s)
Seldom have I experienced the symptom and cause being one in the same
Hell.., Iâve even experienced where the symptom and unresolved issues were seemingly totally unrelated â yet ended up being intimately intertwined and correlated to each other
Stuff never ceases to fascinate me
==============
Bottom line;
OP will need to peel back the proverbial onionâ¦, see whatâs actually revealedâ¦, then resolve it / them
And either he will own this â AND resolve itâ¦, orâ¦, remain forever in denial â and stuck
Brings to mind two adages;
Physician heal thyself⦠and C'est la vie
============
WM02,
Thank You Sir

Well, overconfidence is not necessarily overcompensation of something else, rather just an error in evaluation of reality, which as I wrote in my recent rant is often the case when we deal with unknown/uncertain matters.
Like immune system, our mental/emotional abilities usually work fine, but not always, especially when we face relatively new circumstances for our specie. Sometimes our immune system may kill us, sometimes confidence may be erroneous too... and also kill (thinking about drivers who go way faster than conditions favor as an obvious example).
