How to come down to common world?

I have to be honest – I miss my delusions of grandeur. They definitely helped me dream big, and it felt awesome. But did they help me accomplish anything more than I do without them? Yeah, they did.
I need to learn how to do it without the delusions.

I’ve been sitting in crowded places and repeating to myself that nobody knows me. When the truth of this sets in, your reality will realign itself. You will be treating the world as it is and nobody will look at you weird because you are tuned into the natural frequency of things as they are. Nobody knows you and if you treat people like they don’t know you, they will treat you normally because you are living in truth and you will be back in the common world.

Sitting in crowded places
and repeating these things
doesn’t sound like a efficient
anti delusion technique.
I was too confident and grandiose off meds. But also violent. Not a good mix.
Try it. It’s been working for me. Mantras like that will help you reperceive reality and reconstruct it in your mind. You have to reach equilibrium with the world around you. Once you know for sure that nobody knows you, you can start to live your life again. But start with putting yourself around the people that supposedly know you and change the way you see them. Truth is the antidote to delusion. A good quote: “Truth turns out to be pretty ■■■■■■■ important, because it’s the only thing that is real.” You don’t want to be confronting your mortality one day and realize that you were off in LA LA land and missed your one chance at having a real life.
I once heard it said that happy families are all the same. Unhappy ones are usually unhappy in their own unique way. I think the same might apply to individuals.
Delusions in a vacuum are just future heartbreak.
Not gonna lie, delusions of grandeur feel good, but it can get you in trouble in the long run.
This is wisdom, but shared delusions are especially dangerous.

I don’t mind it too much unless my anxiety kicks in with a feeling I am supposed to be doing something I am not. But yes, I find it comforting in a way.
