Is there a Difference between Confidence and Cockiness

Many people are afraid  that if they embrace their confidence that they will come off as cocky. That's just not true. Confidence comes from believing in yourself and having the skills to back it. It's seeing yourself in a realistic way and recognizing the strengths, assets, smarts, and resources that you bring to any situation. Cockiness, on the other hand, is bragging or showing off without actually having the skills or know how to back it up. By knowing the difference you can feel good about yourself and know that you are capable and a likable and good person. You are your greatest resource!

Missed Opportunity

It was homecoming weekend and I had gone with my bestfriend.

I realized after all the years of really getting each other and giving each other dating advice that I love him. I didn't let him know and he ended up kissing another girl by the end of the night. I feel betrayed and like it was too late to let him know. 

What would you think, do, and feel  in this situation?
