Answer 1

Lo dices, Soy una persona muy orgulloso. But how I say it can be taken to mean proud, in all it's variations. Others will come soon and tell you how they say it. That's the great thing about this site.

I vote foryou, even if this is a wrong answer made years ago.. Lol! Great tradition on this site.. - annierats, Aug 26, 2012

There is a gender mismatch, it should be "orgullosa". However "orgullo" relates to vain/proud, not to self assured as "confident" does. I would say "soy una persona (muy) segura de si misma". - tamadite, Dec 31, 2015

Answer 2

Tengo mucho confianza en mi mismo!

Sí , se nota. - annierats, Aug 26, 2012

There is gender mismatch, it should be "Tengo mucha confianza en mi mismo". Do not forget the upwards exclamation mark (¡) needed in Spanish "¡Tengo mucha confianza en mi mismo!" - tamadite, Dec 31, 2015

A man would say "tengo mucha confianza en mi mismo" whilst a woman would say "tengo mucha confianza en mi misma". - tamadite, Dec 31, 2015

Answer 3

You say "Tengo auto estima". Esperanza is used more for trust.

Sorry, I meant confianza is more for trust - Nalamo, Aug 26, 2012

Answer 4

I think it is right to say "Soy una persona muy confidente"

Answer 5

"Tengo los gatos en mis pantalones." No, wait, what ChamacoMalo said is right.

Haha! - SavviVague, Oct 8, 2009

What ChamacoMalo said is not right. Pride is not the same as confidence and orgulloso no es confianza. ChamacoMalo is simply a humourist and mischief. - Moe, Oct 8, 2009
