Interesting side-effect. Something like this happened to me when I was taking anti-depressives, and the direct euphoria after a good workout does make it harder to think carefully. Doesn't last long, though, while the confidence boost is more or less permanent.

Maybe do some push-ups when you need to engage with other people and listen to Nick Drake if you need to think? ;)
