He used the word in the wrong context because he was desperately trying to come up with a reason -
any reason - why he might be coming across as "the opposite of confident". Before that he'd tried to avoid what Marc had said about him being good looking but knowing for a fact he is insecure about some other things. Marc gave the examples of Cristian pointing out his own flaws, being defensive or having something that he's not proud of, but Cristian 'calmly' glossed over that part. He didn't want to admit his most obvious weakness. I would say that's a function of the ego.
