What is the psychological mechanism behind this?
Does anyone here have any idea?
Do you have grandiose delusions and how do you cope with it?
Thanks

It’s such an embarrassing delusion to have when I actually have a few issues with self esteem too lmao.
Ya i get them. I think its an egoistic thing like everything is about me.
Do you believe in solipism I’m not sure if I have spelt it correctly. That’s another delusion some ppl have.
Ya I have it I tjink delusion of grandeur is related to solipsism from my experience
I have the delusion that everyone is talking about me idk if thats grandiose or not
I get grandiose thoughts off meds
I don’t think that’s delusion of grandiose unless they are all talking about you as if you are special or such etc. It’s a common sz delusion
Thats solipsism i have that too. Its like youre the centre of everything
Yea here’s a defintion
Grandiose delusions are unfounded or inaccurate beliefs that one has special powers, wealth, mission, or identity.29 Aug 2022
I didn’t use to think everything was about me till they came and behaved like everything I did was Soo important lol
Every word
Every action
Every reaction
Every little thought
After believing I was being treated this way by everybody I think it was just natural to assume some type of importance even if that importance was negative
Oh crap… I shouldn’t have said that it’s very important for them to show me how unimportant my actions are lol
I think a lot of psychosis is solipsistic, that you have this high status etc and only yourself alone thinks that
But with solispsm is it not the case that everybody is literally you?
So what would make YOU special, in that delusion.
I guess you are everyone so you ARE special because nothing else exists lol.
Edit… Excuse my uneducated opinion. Idk if I’m making sense
Solipsism is philosophically like that but solipsistic delusion is like you are the centre of the universe and everything is about you yes it could be that everyone is your puppet or something but it can be a mixed bag give or take
My furst psychosis was heavily solipsistic so i think that a lot of my delusions are the same kinda thing. I get delusion of reference that this thing is about me etc. I think.its solipsistic
I had the delusion that I was a prophet of a messiah.
Now I can’t shake that off easily.
It sounds so pathetic
But I prefer that delusion than the later delusion I had which was that I’m the ideal candidate for eternal hell
Oh okay. That’s interesting, yea.
To be honest…I would love to live in a world were I believe almost nobody cares about me… to me that’s freedom. Could u imagine trying to have sex being critiqued for every stroke some type of hell
I never had prophet or messiah, but i knew a guy when homeless that called himself david and believed so. He was diagnosed schizo and treatment resistant.
That’s challenging alright…
Sorry to hear that AKendrick.
Let’s hope things change for you.
