Is there anything wrong with feeling yourself?

No.
It's the dumbest thing on the planet to suppress your ability so people who aren't as talented don't feel so bad.
That's how they pull you down to their level and keep you there: by shaming your accomplishments and talents.
You're not responsible for their feelings.

Let's say you're great at basketball and are studying something like engineering in college or you're already an engineer trying to move up in the company.
When you go to play basketball and destroy all your engineering friends, you're going to have a small group or maybe just 1 or two individuals say some crap about "Wow, you're a great athlete, but what does that mean when it comes to academics?" In some real twisted way they're trying downplay what you did to them on the court.
Don't feel bad about that, not in the slightest and especially don't settle or take it down any notches. It's like Bruce Lee said,"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life."
In other words you'll train yourself to tone down your intensity in every single thing you do. fukk all that, be proud of what you can do, no matter what it is. You're training yourself for ultimate confidence that way.
If it comes to blows even vs your 'friends', then you're defending your birth right to embrace your greatness. What's wrong about that? For some reason people think this is wrong. But what you end up doing is polarizing people. That means you're left with a) true friends and/or b)people who will look to you as a leader.
You keep toning down your victories, humbling yourself (for other people) and being modest too often and you'll have zero confidence in everything you do very soon. You can be humble and confident. Humble is when you know you're in the process of becoming a master and you're open to learning from mistakes.
Sure when you're confident and fall, people will laugh. But think about that: it's like in sports everyone wants to shut down the loudmouthed team. When you look at it even further, who's really calling the shots though? The quiet team is reacting to the brash team. Who's really leading and setting the tone? The confident team.

Be mindful. Thin line between confidence and arrogance.
I'm not arrogant I just find myself having to bring myself down to not come off as cockyBe mindful. Thin line between confidence and arrogance.

Hell the fukk no. I can appreciate the talents of someone humble, but I enjoy those who are good at something and make that shyt known.
Im at work and I pop in the bathroom every half hour or so to look at my physique:letyasoulglow:
Imma be topless, quoting Shakespeare and fixing computers at the same damn time this summer, just to stunt on folks.
Need I mention I will also be playing a game of chess with a South Korean Grandmaster?

see the thing is a lot of individuals try and push this perspective on others they take their identity seriously
the truth is most people really aren't shyt and have no reason to be confident
but you should pretend anyhow
just remember life is a game to be taken lightly
my ego is just another source of entertainment for me
i have a absurd sense of self worth and i am aware of the absurdity
everything you/i base our confidence in is extremely fragile in truth
so like i said i take it as a joke
imma dog and i'm god
jahahahaa what a joke life is

Good thing is, unlike many, you have the ability to filter, step outside of yourself and temper any "cocky" feelings. Many think they are stars of some type.
