It depends. If I'm meeting people on my turf, in my element, etc, I am VERY confident and in control. If I am meeting someone when I'm unsure about something I can be flighty and VERY insecure.
Example: at work right now I am actng as a sales person in a furniture store until I learn all the product, and then I'll be the store's designer. This salesperson thing has been torture for me; I get easily rattled over numbers so when it comes down to ordering things for customers I get hyper and stressed over the final amount I quote the customer, AND atessed about whether I wrote the right part # down and right color # down, and right option #s. All these numbers!!!
I get so worked up that anything occuring around the time of handing the final paperwork gets bumbled. They all laugh at me for this fact and consider me ditzy. I do through the same airhead act EVERY sale. Its so bad that the other sales people were afraid to have me on design presentations because they thought I'd get tongue tied and blurt out stupid things like I do around numbers time. But to their immense surprise I am cool, calm, collected and very much in charge when it comes to design presentations. I have more than enough confidence when I'm doing what I know, and when I know I do it well.
