Confidence in/about my self?
I tried to use the word 'confidence' like this
"I feel confident in myself." and them someone told me to put 'about' in front of myself. I have no idea sighs
One more question : What is the difference between 'Save up money' and 'Save money'?
Thanks in advance.

" It's used with other verbs too; for example: Eat up your dinner before it gets cold. Drink up, the party's just beginning. "

I think it would be better to say, "I have confidence in myself," or "I feel confident about myself."
"Up" just intensifies the meaning of "save." It's informal; your grandma might advise you to "save up your allowance, dear, and you can buy yourself something special" but your bank would never send out a brochure encouraging you to "save up a little each month."
