If you grew up in the perfect family with the perfect parents who loved you unconditionally and encouraged you in everything that you did, chances are that you will be confident in your adult life. However, if you didn't grow up on Walton's mountain, you probably won't be quite as sure of yourself as you would like.
From a dating point of view, if, for example, you were a geek growing up, suffered from acne or were chubby, chances are that you will never have high self-confidence when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex. As the graph above shows, the more severe your problems were, the less confident you will be as an adult.
Even if you lose the glasses and/or the weight and now have the complexion of a supermodel, the scars from your formative years will probably continue to haunt you throughout your life. Maybe counselling is the answer - if Tony Soprano can do it, then so can you! Alternatively, you could stew in your own morass - that's worked well so far, hasn't it?!

Walton's mountain was where the most perfect family in the known universe lived! For the uninitiated, I refer to 'The Waltons', a famous US TV show from the 1970s.
Tony Soprano was, of course, the tough mobster who visited a shrink to discuss his angst, in 'The Sopranos'. This was another hit US TV show, although it had slightly different story lines and characters!!
