Confidence coffee=water in an opaque coffee container.
I wonder why water indicates nerves and coffee indicates confidence. It totally makes sense to me but I have no idea why.
Yeah I can’t explain it either. But it’s just the way.
Could you just actually drink coffee? I mean I guess the caffeine isn't necessarily the best for situations of anxiety, but I find a cup of coffee really relaxing and if it helps when it looks like you're drinking it I wonder if really drinking it wouldn't help similarly.
Depending on your level of caffeine tolerance/dependency actual coffee might be even better.
