Confidence

What It Is

Confidence is not arrogance and not overcompensation. It is an inner sense of stability, when you stop explaining every step to yourself and simply act.

It is a state where you do not shrink in front of other people’s reactions and stop seeking external approval. You know that you can, and you no longer block yourself.

How It Feels

Before:

• doubt, hesitation, “what if I mess it up”

• inner dialogue: “what will they think of me?”

• sense of being “not ready”, “not enough”, “not yet”

After:

• quiet, steady feeling: “I can”

• mental noise softens, posture becomes more upright

• you stop watching yourself from the outside

• action becomes natural instead of overcalculated

• CBD — softens self-criticism, smooths perception

When It Does Not Work

• When internal tension is already too high

• When the environment feels unsafe

• When the nervous system is overstimulated

In these states, confidence can collapse into self-protection instead of expansion.

Summary

Confidence is not volume. It is a quiet inner “I can”, no longer fighting itself.

Cannabis does not give you power. It can temporarily remove the noise, so you remember the power that was already there.
