This reminds me of the story of Kiran Patel, a normal citizen from Gujarat who allegedly faked himself as a senior Prime minister official and somehow got VVIP treatment in Kashmir.
This sounds funny until you realize how insane the facts were.
He posed as an official from the Prime Minister’s Office and moved around Jammu & Kashmir with security cover, a bulletproof SUV, official accommodation at a five-star hotel, and even held meetings with officials. He reportedly visited places like Gulmarg, Doodhpathri, Dal Lake, Lal Chowk, and even sensitive areas near the LoC.
This was not some random place where people casually believe anyone.
This was Kashmir.
One of the most security-sensitive regions in India.
And yet, a man allegedly managed to walk in with fake authority and make the system treat him like someone powerful.
That is the dark side of being “delusional and confident asf.”
Most people are not stopped by lack of talent. They are stopped by hesitation, shame, overthinking, and the fear of looking stupid.
But then there are people who take confidence to such an insane level that they start bending reality around them.
They don’t wait for permission.
They don’t wait to be “qualified.”
They don’t wait until they feel ready.
They just show up like they belong there.
And the crazy part is, the world often believes them.
Not because they are actually powerful, but because they act like they are. People are so conditioned to respect confidence, titles, posture, security, and authority that sometimes they forget to verify the truth behind it.
That is why confidence is scary.
Used well, it can change your life.
Used badly, it becomes fraud.
The real cheat code is not being fake.
The real cheat code is having that level of self-belief while actually building the skills, discipline, character, and proof to back it up.
Be delusional enough to believe you can do something huge.
But be disciplined enough to become the kind of person who actually deserves it.
the whole cheat code to life is just being delusional and confident asf
