Confusiasm

So just what is confusiasm?  (apart from being a word invented by John Vanek).


Confusiasm is strongly expressed opinion, energy or activity that has uncertain thinking behind it.


Confusiasm can be observed when someone disagrees with your point-of-view vehemently, then gives their own version which happens to be remarkably similar to the idea you proposed in the first place.


Confusiasm is a course of action embraced with great conviction without the genuine confidence of conviction behind it.


Confusiasm can occur when others convince you that a particular course of action is the right one and you go ahead with their counsel when inwardly you sense it is contrary to your own instincts.


Confusiasm is evident when people are full of certainty and propose that certainty to another when their certainty is no more than insecurity or defensiveness.


Best way to avoid confusiasm?  Act on your own deepest convictions regardless of what anyone else proposes may be right for you.
