There are tens of actions that will trigger the Confident buff in the game.

Help your Sim overcome their fears
The only way for Sims to overcome their fears is to confront them. Doing so will automatically trigger the Confident buff. Sims will feel very confident after conquering their fears.
Psych your Sim up
Another quick way to trigger the Confident buff in The Sims 4 is to use the Psych Up interaction. Click on any mirror, and select the Psych Up option. Your Sim will do some quick positive self-talk that will boost their confidence.
You can also use the Practice Speech option to make your Sims confident.
Finish important tasks
Sims that successfully finish an important task related to their aspiration, will get the Confident moodlet for four hours. Sims become Confident when they use their skills successfully.
For example, if your Sim is a writer, finishing a novel will trigger the Confident buff. If they’re an aspiring painter, finishing a masterpiece will make them feel confident.
Speaking of which, painting is one of the highest-paying hobbies in The Sims 4.
If your Sim loves fishing, they’ll get the Confident buff every time they catch a rare fish.
Have friendly social interactions
Sims will become confident after engaging in friendly social interactions with other Sims.
Make sure to use friendly and funny interactions and your Sim will quickly become friends with everyone.
Successfully pranking other Sims
If your Sim loves Mischief, they’ll feel confident every time they successfully prank other Sims.
If you own High School Years, you can prank the whiteboard, your school’s PA system, and even place stink capsules in your colleagues’ lockers. If you get caught, you’ll get detention.
⇒ Fun Fact:
Sims that have the Jealous trait will become confident around their partner. Snob Sims will get confident around other Sims that have the same trait.
After getting the Confident buff, your Sim can paint a Confident Painting, pee like a champion, run with their chest out, and admire themselves in the mirror.
⇒ Quick Tip:
If you own Growing Together, help your kids build a solid sense of self-confidence. Kids with low self-confidence will become teenagers with low self-esteem.

To make your Sims feel Confident, have them brush their teeth or do something they’re good at. Friendly social interactions, getting promoted, or having an excellent day at work will also trigger the Confident buff.
