Has taking nootropics changed the way you perceive reality?

Has your nootropic use changed the way you perceive or react to reality? Has it changed your understanding of reality as a concept as well?
For example, I’ve noticed that I have been a lot more confident in general after taking Phenibut or phenylethylamine, even after I stopped taking it. I used to be insecure and think that people were making fun of me. I guess after trying those nootropics, I realized that there was more ways to perceive the current moment than what I was used to. So, instead of thinking that people bullied me I started thinking that they really like me. I realized that neither is more true than the other because I have no idea what anybody is actually thinking. So why not choose one thats more positive? After adopting that mindset on and off nootropics, more people began to like me and my charm amplified. It’s to the point where I’m secure and I don’t care about other people’s thoughts.
My point is that my use of nootropics have made me consider point of views that I wouldn’t have before and understand all of the little ways one can actually perceive reality.

It's also less about the end result for me, and more about the journey. I am always researching and trying new things. Figuring out mechanisms, then actually taking the substance to feel how it affects me, gives a lot of insight into the body and brain. The single biggest thing that changed the way I think was MDMA, though. I went through a bad depression years ago, and I guess I never realized what feeling happy really was. The first time I took MDMA I finally understood. I didn't need a reason to be happy. I could just be. There didn't always need to be a reason. It was just a tool to help me realize it, but it was a profound lesson that has led me to where I am today. That night opened up my curiosity into the brain and how it works. I have spent pretty much every day since then trying to learn as much as I can; not just about the brain, but the entire body. It pretty much set my brain on the course it is on today. All it took was to finally feel pure unfiltered happiness, and show me what was possible. Once you realize what is possible, you can work to find how to push it farther.
