the lie you tell yourself until it stops being one.
means A feeling of trust or assurance — in yourself, someone else, or an outcome — that things will turn out as you believe.
from From Latin confidere, "to trust fully," a blend of con- (an intensifier, "thoroughly") and fidere ("to trust"). That fidere is the same root that gives us fidelity and the faithful dog's name Fido — so at heart, confidence is just trust cranked all the way up, whether or not it's earned.
