Confidence is based on your perception of yourself. When someone tells you to be more confident, it's probably because they believe your perception of yourself is worse than reality. Excessively low confidence is no less of a delusion than excessively high confidence.
The cynical alternative hypothesis is that "be more confident" actually means "be higher status".
