It is natural, almost normal,

not to be confident in a situation or with a subject, you know nothing about,

under the circumstances, you tend to be confused, you attract nothing exciting except sympathy,

consequently, you may not be given a second chance to prove that you can actually do it,

but the reverse is likely to be the case, when you are bold,

some people may feel incline to overlook your flaws, see you as strong and a model they should follow,

more would make excuses on your behalf and regard your weakness as a common human imperfection,

when you are bold, you command respect and attention,

so boldness is better,

it makes you stronger.
