Thank you, and it's interesting to hear that experiences differ so much. It sounds like maybe it's just a coincidence that my manic states tend to be more inwardly directed. Maybe it also has to do with the fact that historically my manias haven't been too extreme, they tend more toward the hypomanic end of the spectrum. I don't know how my personality would change beyond that.
