Why do people associate being loud, outspoken, and outgoing with confidence?

Because there obviously is a certain overlap between the two.

Yankees value loud, braying obnoxiousness, especially in white men, so that's why they think loudmouths exude confidence.

Many times when someone lacks confidence they will be afraid to speak up and rely on others to take the lead. Confidence comes from experience and they may remain shy.

I’m not sure that loud would come into the description of confidence but quiet could be a description of lacking confidence

Lack of confidence! People think the louder and more combative gets their point across.
