🎙 Episode 16: Should You Be Full of Yourself?
Redefining confidence and arrogance.

🔸 In this episode, we take on a bold question: What does it really mean to be full of yourself—and is it always a bad thing?
🔸 Wafa reflects on moments from her school years when her confidence tipped into silent judgment. She shares how being “too full of yourself” can blind you to others’ worth, and why it often carries such a negative connotation.
🔸 Samar challenges that view, pointing out that being full of yourself can also mean trusting your value and believing in your abilities before anyone else does. She shares why this inner conviction is sometimes the only push you need to move forward.
🔸 Together, we explore the tension between arrogance and confidence, and how the phrase “full of yourself” can mean two very different things depending on intent.

🔸 We also explored:
• Why people often associate being full of yourself with arrogance and superiority
• How judgment of others—not self-confidence itself—is the real problem
• When self-belief becomes essential, especially early in your journey when proof and validation are missing
• The difference between taking space away from others vs. creating space while standing firmly in your worth
• How perspective can shift—Samar admits she changed her mind by the end of the conversation

💡 Key Takeaways:
• Being full of yourself isn’t always negative—it depends on whether it’s rooted in comparison or self-respect.
• Confidence becomes harmful when it blinds you to others’ value.
• Self-belief, even without proof, can fuel ambition and resilience.
• The key is balance: honoring your own worth while still making space for others.
