Interesting, that was something I considered, but didn’t think was included in the idea of confidence. I have experienced that before. The stakes of a situation also seems like an objective fact, like competence. Perhaps the subjective evaluation of stakes and competence are entangled into the feeling of confidence. Maybe it has something to do with low variance of outcomes? If you have done something a lot, or if it doesn’t really matter, then there isn’t anything to worry about, because nothing that matters is up for grabs in the situation.
