Delusion of Grandeur
Ever wonder if you should get worried about a friend? Or about yourself. A lot of people often confuse some personalities together. One might have a narcissistic personality disorder or some bipolar disorder. Here comes what I'm trying to say. Delusion of grandeur is associated with both personalities mentioned above. Delusion of grandeur is when someone attaches more importance to themselves. It is a mental disorder when a person shares false beliefs about one's greatness and skills. This person only believes what he feels he is.
This set of people can't be convinced. They live in their world. They could walk up to you and tell you they own the White House. Or they are famous footballers. You can't win by arguing with them. The best you can do at the moment is to nod and agree. Your next step would be to walk away.
However, it's not that they decided to live that way, it's a symptom of psychosis. I have come to realize that there are some behavioral disorders that people portray and have overlooked. Even so, some might not attach more importance to it. Left to me, I feel everyone has the human right to freedom. Freedom to express their opinions and freedom from torture. What am I saying? Anyways, I'm only trying to say people should be allowed to express themselves. But, what about people that need help? What about people we realized that their sense of reasoning is going out of place. Should we care? Since sets of people are not aware of their psychotic traits, we must not play an act of perfection in their presence. Let's help them find help.
However, these people exhibit traits of mania. It means they can be extremely high and elevated. They talk too much with unreasonable euphoria. I could remember during my mental health posting, there were some patients with delusions of grandeur. As a student then, we all thought they were speaking the truth about themselves until we got to know more about psychotic disorders.
Moreover, I'm not here to bore you with medical jargon but just to enlighten you more about the delusion of grandeur. Let's keep it simple and short.
I hope to write to you again.
Best wishes,
