When I'm manic I definitely have a lot of confidence. I have a flirty personality as it is but it gets much worse when I'm manic. I get hit on a lot. Back in the states my best friend owned a music venue / bar and I'd go there all the time when I was manic....everyone knew who I was even if I didn't know them and when I'm manic and I go out I never have to pay for drinks. I have no inhibitions and feel incredibly sexy when in this state and I tend to use it to my advantage. I've gotten backstage at so many concerts because of it and met a lot of really cool people.
When I'm depressed I have serious social anxiety so it's a marked difference from how I act when I'm manic.
