Sometimes it's hard to know if some wild actions were me or some level of mania. In any case, I can be a very outspoken and self confident person by nature. Because of that, I have said things most wouldn't. I have no qualms writing letters to famous people, telling wait staff how the chef could improve a dish (or what I disliked about it), etc.

I love humour and have said many humourous things many wouldn't say.

I love to dance and feel I have often been the best dancer at places. I never felt reluctant to show that off.

I have flashed my husband in the grocery store many times when likely stable. I like his reactions.

I was already mixed manic when my mother died, but think I had pure grief only when my nephew and various pets passed away. I could function better than if purely depressed.
