Are inflated, ego, self-esteem, or grandiosity a form of Egomania or Megalomania? Is it part of Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders?
grandiosity and megalomania are basically synonymous which are part of sz
i dont think inflated ego, self esteem are linked to those delusions. it may seem like an inflated ego to have grandiose delusions, but I dont think it is interpreted that way

Even more so with schizoaffective i think. Grandiose and huge ego’s, plus a feeling of superiority over others are very common in the manic side of sza.

I suggest reading the forum description before posting in it so you know whether you’re on-topic or not.
Walking around thinking one is hot shiit for no apparent reason is one thing— believing you’re the second coming of Christ is another.

For me my delusions made me feel important to the world. Guess it falls under grandiosity.

I have delusions of grandeur coupled with an inferiority complex. I’ll save all mankind and then spend the rest of my life apologizing for it.

I feel really special.
I feel like I’ve been through some challenges but often dealt with it and so it continues.
I don’t know if that is grandiosity or just normal.
I do know that I’m not perfect though.
But I think I’m smart though when I say it out loud I’m suddenly not so sure.
