Conceited or confident?

From the song 'Don't Need You To Tell Me I'm Pretty' by Samantha Mumba:

I don't need you to
Tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful,
I don't need you to
Give me your strength to make me feel I'm strong.
I got all of this strength that I need here
inside my own two hands,
All that I want is your love and respect for who I am,
What I really need
Comes from deep inside of me.

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful,
Don't need you to make me strong 'cause I'm strong all on my own,
Doesn't come from outside
This beauty I know,
Comes from inside my soul.

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty.
