Overconfidence; total certainty or greater certainty than circumstances warrant

I am a particularly clumsy person.

One 'accident' that featured in my school year book's 'Priceless Moments' section occurred at the end of First year.
We were sitting our end of year English exam, I had finished a few minutes early and figured I would take this time NOT reading through my test paper checking for correct grammar and spellings. No No I was so OVER confident I thought I would sit back, relax and have a rock on my chair.
ERROR.


Ofcourse.... OFCOURSE I fell straight backwards and got hideously stuck there - on my back, legs up in the air, still fully glued to my chair. I LITERALLY had to ROLLLLLLLL off my chair while the whole class peered on with bewildered amusement.

Not only am I clumsy but I am notoriously awkward, easily embarrassed and severely uncomfortable being the centre of attention. Well you can imagine this little episode really helped my insecurities.
