I am just going to say what my idea of grandiosity is and put me in my place if I am wrong ok???
When I am feeling good/up/hypo I think that every guy is interested in me. I can think back a couple days later and say No he wasn't interested in me, he was just talking to me. I think I am a great philosopher and can go on and on about something (really just saying the same thing but in different ways) but I feel so passionately about it and very pleased with myself. I feel like I am a spiritual healer/therapist. If someone has an issue I feel like I can save them and do save them and again am very pleased with my abilities. What are your thoughts on your grandiosity and are the above even grandiose? What are your experiences if you want to share?

I personally do not think that you are describing grandiosity. I think you are "simply" describing hypomania to mania. But my former T would call it grandiose. I guess there may not be a standard definition everyone subscribes too.
By the way, congratulations on your sense of realism - people spend years mistakenly thinking that a guy who was just talking to them was in fact interested in them!

Yeah, that sounds like graniosity to me. When I'm up I feel like I can do anything. I'm the greatest writer that ever lived. I'm the greatest singer that ever lived. I could not only graduate with honors from any course of study put forth to me, but in less time than it would take another person. How dare someone point out if I make a mistake, because I do not make mistakes. That person must be wrong. I am the best, and all others should see that I'm the best and folllow me without question.
It's so oposite how I normally feel. I normally feel I'm pretty average or if I'm depressed I feel like a complete loser. So, that's how I know it's grandiosity. edit: Also, if you ever watch the show "The Big Bang Theory," Sheldon suffers from grandiosity to the extreme. LOL.

Yes, all that described and...
...thinking that your thoughts and ideas are inspiring the world...telepathically (all great art exists because I thought it), or that people are out to get you because you're essential to life on Earth, or maybe that you're a god, lol. Extreme, maybe. Psychotic? Probably. Grandiosity? Yup! It has happened to me! |

You've got a pretty good grasp of grandiosity, I think. Good job.

I'm a super genius! I have all the (right) answers, people around me are feeble minded and should feel honoured I give them the time of day!
