I think it really depends on the situation.

1:11

So, if I am speaking with you like this,

1:17

I'm very confident – I know you.

1:20

But if I'm around people that I don't know as much,

1:24

then I usually feel a bit more shy.

1:27

Yeah.

1:28

What about you?

1:29

Are you generally confident?

1:31

I think, like you, if I think I know what I'm doing, then I'm confident.

1:37

But if I'm doing something,

1:39

1:46

then that can be nerve-racking – make you feel nervous –

1:51

and then not be confident.

1:54

Yeah, definitely.

1:55

I remember, like, being in a class, in a classroom

2:00

2:08

I'd definitely feel nervous.

2:09

2:14

2:20

I'm generally quite confident.
