Meaning
This reads as a claim that trust begins at the level of self-respect. The line suggests that in a thoughtful society, confidence is not only social or collective, it starts with an inward agreement to trust one's own judgment. It lands when someone is learning to make decisions without constantly outsourcing their conviction to others.
