It's definitely an effective sub. Much more noticeable than disconnect from negativity.
The other day I was in a gas station and this was when I was in one of my good moods. I'm sure everyone's had that feeling, not caring and just doing your own thing. Well I had to get money from the atm and while I was doing that I noticed a cute blond walk in. She kind of glanced at me for a second and then waited on line. Well I had to get on line too to buy lottery tickets so I was right behind her. As soon as I got closer her head kinda twisted around to look and see who was behind her haha. Then she kind of just looked at me for a while, I probably should have smiled or something but it caught me completely off guard. I'm pretty damn sure I was giving off a really strong vibe that she picked up on.
So here's the ironic thing. When I tried really hard to appear confident because I was worried what others thought about me, I don't give off that vibe. But as soon as I just let go of trying so hard and accepted that I wasn't super confident, but it was ok to just be me, I felt like magic happened haha. It's more confident of me to admit that I'm not entirely confident than pretend to be in order to hide myself. So in conclusion the fake it till you make it attitude isn't worth it. It's so much easier to just be honest, even if that means that you don't feel like the most confident guy. Authenticity is definitely where it's at.
