Confident Position

Overview: Hoarding the aspect for yourself. A one-way street of energy into the self and you are the conductor. “I take what I want from the world in relation to the aspect.”

The confident position is characterized by a self-positive disposition towards the aspect held within. It comes off as certain, sufficient, and holding strong beliefs.

The confident position also has an others-negative disposition towards the aspect held within. It comes off as aggressive, subjective, and vulnerable.

When we combine the self-positive, and others-negative dispositions this position holds, we see that an orientation towards desiring results comes into play. This results focus is what gives the first position a flippant, distinct, and more specific feeling to it. The confident position wants to get the results it desires, and is extremely certain in how to reach these desires. It tends to guard its own vulnerabilities at all costs, unwilling to let anyone take control of what is deemed as integral to its survival.
