We all act confident, right?

Coming across this meme made me realize I’ve been in situations where I acted confident, until the real problem showed up

Is it just me or most of us are the same? It should be in our genes that came from the stone age humans?

I see it funny and self-realizing at the same time..

I don't know, I keep getting told that I lack confidence, so maybe this doesn't apply to everyone...

But I get what you're saying, it's just that I can't relate to it

Haha! My dog and I have this funny dynamic, every time we go out, she expects me to protect her from other dogs. When we get home, I tell her she’s the one who should be protecting me, not the other way around!

I think it's the instinct for survival

For me it's actually a bit opposite.

Normally in daily life I am not a very aggressive or super confident person. I can even be a little bit quiet or careful. But when the situation becomes serious and there is a real problem, something changes in my brain.

I don’t know if it comes from genetics or maybe some stone age survival instinct, but when things get critical I become very calm. Almost like a machine mode. I start thinking more clearly and focusing only on the problem.

Maybe it's the “knife to the bone” moment when the brain switches to survival mode.

So memes like this are funny for me because in normal situations confidence can be fake, but real character shows when the real problem appears.
