Finding courage with 気が大きくなる
気が大きくなる means becoming bolder or more confident, sometimes enough to act recklessly. Alcohol, a recent win, or encouragement from a group may produce this temporary confidence.
Examples
Becoming uninhibited with 気が大きくなる
Bocchi was up late reading a book on how to make friends. At the time, she was overly enthusiastic, but at school the next morning she finds her social anxiety has returned.
- ぼっち:
- 「夜は気が大きくなる」
- “Last night I became uninhibited.”
- なこ:
- 「おーぼっち おはよ」
- “Oh, Bocchi, morning!”
- 「？ どした？」
- “What's wrong?”
- “Oh, Bocchi, morning!”
