Because it is a protective mechanism for pain.
So if someone leaves you, you will just think, well that’s THEIR LOSS lmao.
Cos u know, ur thinking ur really great.
But the truth is, it’s unrealistic and therefore fundamentally, isolating.

Getting a little psychoanalytical with this one.
Delusion of grandeur will take place in a manic episode where you make an ass of yourself or in a schizo break which is usually in isolation, but could spill out into an embarassing situation

It is their loss. Nothing to do with delusions of grandeur… if you need to isolate ok… but don’t let it consume you.

Oh I’m not feeling any grandeur delusions atm.
But I remember when I did
In order to stop me from feeling jealousy, I used to say to myself well if he leaves me, then he’s lost the best person in the world haha
Sounds like an ego defence mechanism that you had when delusional
