We all know that confidence is extremely attractive - but why so?

While most psychologists advise their clients to be (or at least act) more self-confident, not all of them explain why it actually works.

Here are a few reasons why confidence is so alluring.

Positive Energy

Confident people often have a positive and cheerful attitude. 

When you're around them, you feel good because their confidence is contagious.

Self-Assuredness

Confidence makes a person feel secure about themselves and their abilities. 

This self-assuredness is appealing because it shows they believe in themselves.

Good Communication

Confident people tend to communicate well. 

They express themselves clearly and listen attentively, which makes conversations enjoyable.

Decisiveness

Confidence often comes with the ability to make decisions. 

People find this attractive because it shows that the person knows what they want and can take action.

Optimism

Confidence often goes hand-in-hand with a positive outlook on life. 

This optimism can be very appealing because it makes people feel hopeful and happy.

Leadership

Confidence can make someone appear like a natural leader. People are drawn to those who seem capable and in control.

Comfortable in Their Skin

Confident individuals are comfortable being themselves, which is very appealing. They don't try to be someone they're not.

Conclusion

When you love yourself, you show others that you're worthy of love - so they like you more!
