I didn't think confidence matters much until I've encountered enough people without it. Now I think it's the source (low confidence) of much evil. People who don't have much confidence seem to have drama and negativity following them everywhere, not good for long term relationships.
This!! I felt like that too until I came in contact with people who lacked it. They are very trying, always need confirmation and the drama they tend to come with can make anyone flip. I don't have the patience needed to deal with that time and time again. Now I want confidence in both friendship and relationships. As others have already pointed out, I don't look for that alone, but it needs to be part of the package. Obviously compatibility comes first.
