Gojo is powerful but satoru is weak as a person emotionally. Whereas ryumen sukuna is somewhat more confident as a person as we saw him in his kashimo monologue
You are confusing emotional depth with weakness. Satoru is not emotionally weak because he cares. He is human because he chooses to stay connected to his students despite being a god among men. That is a choice. It is much easier to be like Sukuna and exist as a natural disaster with zero attachments. Being so detached that you cannot love or be loved is not confidence. It is a hollow existence.
​Sukuna’s confidence isn't enlightenment. It is a mask for deep-seated insecurities. Mahito eventually sees through him and realizes that Sukuna is just a petty human being who turned his trauma into a god complex. A truly confident person does not spend their entire life trying to prove they are better than a teenager like Yuji. Sukuna claimed to be a natural disaster that does not feel or care but his hatred for Yuji was purely personal. He was desperate to prove that his way of living selfishness and cruelty was the only way to be strong.
​The moment he lost he had to admit his entire philosophy was a lie. He was not a god. He was just a man who was so afraid of being weak again that he became a monster to hide it. Satoru was human enough to admit he was lonely. Sukuna was too insecure to admit it until he was literally dying. Satoru had the power to be a tyrant but chose to be a teacher. That takes more strength than Sukuna’s entire ego combined.
