Dear gj:

Regarding “grandiose beliefs about myself”- a personal share: as a child/ teenager and even as an adult, I had a very low self esteem, very low and yet, at the same time, I dreamed big, daydreamed, that is. I used to imagine being an international star of some kind, famous and wealthy. At times, outside the daydreaming, there was a belief, deep inside, that I had it in me to .. change the world, to be very powerful.

I think that it was my deep feelings of inferiority and inadequacy that led to the extremes  of being… on top of the world.
