What is a healthy balance between conceit and timidness?

An intact or healthy ego.

Confidence
Self-esteem

‘Modest’ or ‘self-effacing’ would be a good word for the opposite of conceited, and a healthy balance would be ‘confident’ or ‘self-assured’.

I would tend to say, “nothing, because timidness is not the opposite of conceit”.

@all Thanks.

I would say self-confidence and humility together occupy the balance point.

Self-confidence recognizes one’s own worth and abilities. Humility rightly understands one’s relationship to others. They’re not about superiority and inferiority. They’re about an authentic, realistic view of oneself both in oneself and with respect to others in the world.

Me. My personality.

Although somewhere on the continuum there ought to be a place for hubris. It isn’t really conceit or arrogance, but it’s moving in that direction.

And it’s a good vocabulary word.

@RedDeerGuy1 Depending on the circumstance “bold” works.
Confident.

“Self-Possessed” would be the sweet spot I think. The self-possessed person is cool, calm, collected ..

I think the Jungian concept of a well-integrated person is also in the ballpark.
