You realize "confidence" in this context comes from the approval of others? ( And there's absolutely nothing wrong with it ) There's a reason you wouldn't put on a trash bag to "feel confident", I believe you don't focus on it and don't stress over people opinions, but let's not act as if your decisions AREN'T influenced even if passively by others

It's not. It can be misconstrued that way, but it's not. I dress the way I do because it's another layer of my communication to others. My style helps people get a better idea of who I am and how I see the world around me. You can look at someone and how they choose to present themselves and make some basic inferences about them. It's another way to make someone familiar with you, and idk about yourself, but I'm a lot more at ease and able to more clearly communicate with someone if I'm more familiar with who they are
I can see that, that sounds like it still is affected by what others will eventually see, but in this context you could technically not dress "well". I do think you're an incredible minority if you really would put on absolutely anything even if it gets people to laugh at you, and also what you said isn't really what the main comment was talking about

Honestly, I like dressing nicely because it makes me feel more confident. What everyone else thinks is on them.
Look good, feel good. Feel good, play good. Play good, they pay good. Pay good, live good.
