Whenever I see this type of bravado I always assume they are putting on a brave face because things are far worse than they appear. It's the cavalier attitude towards taking other peoples money. Unbelievable.

Or stimulants. Adderall bravado is real and explains a lot.

  Hey, can you go into this more? When I search Adderall bravado online, your post is the top result. I have a friend whose behavior changed wildly after being prescribed Adderall, so I am interested in learning more.

    Disclaimer: I am not diagnosed but believe I have ADHD. I use Vyvanse casually and when it’s active in my system I go from a very timid and shy person to a public speaker. I’ve been working on my anxiety separately, but even at its worst I could pop one pill and it would disappear. I could go up to strangers and talk to them about anything, or I could stand up in the middle of a mall and call for everyone’s attention. It was very cathartic as someone who has suffered from anxiety (at least) for a long time. Some of that feeling lasts for a while too. I regret not trying medication to fix some of my mental health issues before and I’d love to be on a prescription right now. I really think taking it consistently could change my life.

      I find caffeine has a very similar effect.

        Interesting, not a coffee drinker but energy drinks don’t do much for me other than keep me awake.

    Stimulants make your brain go brrr. I know they increase dopamine levels and so on, but I have no idea how that translates into personality. I think a friend coined the term talking about SBF. I also know they can cause mania in people with BPD. From personal experience, they make you feel like you're on top of the world. You can get so much done. Although obviously in some people they just help you focus a normal amount.
