For me:
Always think people are talking about me - laughing at me - pretty much everywhere - at work - in Target.. people I know and don't know.. If someone compliments me, I think they are secretly laughing at me. not a grandiose thought - social anxiety or perhaps slight paranoia
Sometimes I think I am here for a more imprortant purpose than others - I will see signs in everything and believe it is from a higher power Thats pretty normal unless you start to think you can fly or something
I always think people hate me/are mad at me - even with evidence to the contrary Again not grandiose perhaps again social anxiety or paranoia
VERY often, I feel people can hear my thoughts/read my mind - so I'll hurry up and get certain thoughts out of my head before they can Again pretty normal, especially for teenagers
Sometimes I'll feel I'm destined to be lets say a great Lawyer or DR. (more a manic thing) and I'll sign up for school only to come down and realize I'm still just an insurance adjuster lol Why cant you be something more? Thats not necessarily grandiose thinking - could be a bit of self esteem slipping in telling you that you are not working at your full potential
When Manic, I was convinced that ISIS was after me and wanted a panic room.. was sure WWIII was going to start any day (cue DR. putting me on abilify, lol) Paranoia not grandiose, perhaps a little delusional but I know plenty of "normals" that are worried by this
I always feel my G/F is cheating on me and get extremely paranoid about same.. Not grandiose, paranoia and common in BPD
I also find special "meaning" in very random things - such as TV shows and the weather, and mundane things people say.. Also what I consider on the spectrum of normal - until you start following these meanings, having the thoughts does not mean you are delusional
Do I sound crazy or what? ;/

Please do some research on what you are experiencing so your pdoc doesnt drug you to the eyeballs when you go in saying you are having grandiose thoughts and delusions... Or provide more information as to if you are following through with any of these? No follow through generally means it is just a thought and not anything to worry about or be medicated for.
Please people on this thread do not go off telling your docs you are delusional or having grandiose thoughts before doing your own research, mood tracking and educating yourselves as to what is what.
