in my experience this is not true.
confidence is a byproduct of facing your fear with compassion and helping it to relax.
because once you get good at that you realize you actually are an alchemist who can transform his enemies into allies
- which is way more powerful than trying to overpower the fear with some forced confidence.
What is "forced confidence"?

when you bypass the fear in a "boys don't cry" kind of way. clinging to positive thoughts, acting like there is no pain below the surface.
Okay. That's not what I was talking about, at all.
