Why do some BAD people seem to be more confident than GOOD people?

Question

:) :) :) :) :)

Answer 1

What is defined as "bad"?

Perhaps your own "good and bad" is swapped?

Answer 2

Often times bad people hide behind being tough to make up for their true inadequacies.  Good people don't have to prove their goodness.

Answer 3

That always seems to be the case, I have no idea why..

Answer 4

Bad people don't have consciences to bother them.  

Answer 5

they have just become so good at lying.  they are either sweating on the inside or the fact that they haven't been taught a lesson has made thm overly confident that they won't get caught, thus empowering their ego

Answer 6

-they don't have a conscience

...or, perhaps, they just don't adhere to it

Answer 7

Bluster can bulldose those with low self confedence.

Answer 8

Lack of self-consciousness that "good" people use to look inside themselves and compare their actions with those of others around them.  I.e., it is sort of a robot-like confidence.

Answer 9

Good people have a conscience, bad people dont seem to dwell so much on their wrong doings. Also, good people tend to think first before they speak (well most of the time), whereas bad people dont seem to care so much about feelings of others. At the end of the day, conscience will catch up with people who are bad, confident or not...

Answer 10

Bad people are not confident of themselves, that is why they are bad. They hide behind being bad so that people can not see that they are really not confident.

Good people are confident, they know that they do not have to scare people to like them or do them good things.  

Answer 11

all part of the attitude

Answer 12

SEEM to be

but they are not.

Answer 13

I can tell you this. It's because they do not suffer from self-doubt.

Questioning yourself, your own motives, is an essential part of attempting to live an ethical life: "bad", i.e. unethical people, don't feel the need for this. Imagine the confidence you could have if you gave up ever questioning your own actions!

You'd have to kill your conscience though. It's a high price.

Answer 14

It's the KNOWLEDGE, I think! "BAD" people have bad knowledge & do not suppose to know when to be confident. But a good persons know what to do & when to do at where to do. If they are not sure, then they become less confident----since they're GOOD! They can't get ready mentally to finish a task as well-finished! They know that an unfinished work by them, might be the cause of trouble to others. Bad guys have not that good sense. ( It's same with the good doctors & bad doctors story here in my country: Good doctors take time to diagnose the patients whereas the quakes start surgery!)    

Answer 15

I didn't know that they did. You must have just come across more that seemed that way.

Answer 16

Bad people usually get away with being bad so that gives them confidence. Where good people always get scolded when they are not wrong and are more likely to have a whole lot of responsibilities put on them to keep them from going bad, so it makes them reserved and quiet.
