Disconfidence VS Unconfident

Hi

I hope I use the following adjective (unconfident) and noun (disconfidence) correctly? I mean, do they exist (at least in my dictionaries they do) and sound natural in spoken and written English?

The speaker was rather unconfident.

She spoke with apparent disconfidence.

Thanks,

Mr. Tom Disconfidence VS Unconfident I strongly advise against using these extremely rarely used words. Many readers will not even believe that these are real words that can be found in a dictionary, even if they are listed there.
