Being honest with yourself means acknowledging that you have issues. Some of these are small, and others scream that you are a little caught up in La-La land. According to one popular online community, here are signs that you may be delusional.
It’s Not My Fault
Blame shifting makes one think that they are perfect and everyone else is at fault. One member of the community explains that people who are deluded are “The people who always think the consequences of their own actions are somehow the fault of everyone else around them.” Time to take your head out of the sand and have a long, hard look at yourself.
Temper Tantrum Time
Some parents give their kids everything. The children then grow up with an expectation that they can get whatever they want. As one person observes, delusional individuals are “Entitled people who act like children when they don’t get what they want.” Time for these people to learn the appreciation of things.
I Want A Family
Most parents dream of starting a family. Yet, when you have the approach that “having a child will fix a toxic marriage or relationship,” the motivation is wrong. Please don’t think that bringing a precious child into the world is going to be the balm that soothes your relationship issues.
Let’s Get Married
If you’re having problems with your other half, the best option is to talk to one another. However, some people think that a better plan is “marriage will save their relationship.” All you are doing is glossing over the situation and heading for a disastrous marriage.
I Haven’t Been Out For Ages
Having a family is a huge lifestyle change. Some people want to carry on as though they had no kids, and the result is “having kids and then expecting everyone around you to be automatic babysitters.” Guess what? Other people have lives, too.
That’s My Opinion
Our beliefs are a piece of our self-identity. At times, we hang on to them without wondering why we protect them so much. Delusional people show “often resist attempts to challenge or question their beliefs.” How willing are you to change your opinion?
That Makes No Sense
When we hold on to a perception or idea, it can be hard to let go. A community member explains, “You won’t be able to reason an unreasonable person out of their delusion. Poking holes in their delusion only makes the delusion stronger as their mind invents more delusions to patch up the holes.” Yep, they go further down the rabbit hole.
I Brought You Into This World…
Parenting can be a tough gig at times. Especially when your child doesn’t show you the appreciation you are expecting. But it’s all about unconditional love. However, some parents have the crazy idea that “your child owes you for raising and loving them.” What is it that you think your kid owes you?
I Sucked You In
Delusional people love to play kind games. They are the victim. One person describes the situation as “Acting like you are oppressed for the sole purpose of deceiving others so they won’t know you are a horrible human being.” Unfortunately, the truth always comes out, eventually. Think of all the wasted energy you spent trying to hide who you really are.
I’ve Been Here For 20 Years, Boss
Loyalty is great. It proves that you are trustworthy and reliable. However, when it comes to the workplace, a member explains that deluded employees are “People who think their employers will reward their loyalty.” If your boss doesn’t recognize the effort you put in, it may be time to look for a new job. Or you can have the self-satisfaction that you bring 100% effort to work every day.
Who Did You Vote For?
Self-identity is typically made up of many aspects, such as your family history, your work, your hobbies, and your personality. Yet, when it comes to who may be considered delusional, one guy explains they are “People who make every aspect of their identity about politics.” So, are you a Republican or a Democrat?
One Day
As the saying goes, “Love is blind.” For those who are deluded, they stay “with an abusive/philandering SO latching on to the belief that they’ll change.” People can change, but how long do you put up with the misery because you have an unfounded belief that your partner will become a better person?
It’s Round
Hundreds of years ago, there was a belief that the world was flat. OMG, the ship is going to fall off the earth into nothingness. Yet, thanks to science, we know better. Or do we? Even now, there are “Flat Earthers.” After all, you can’t believe what science and countless years of sailing around the globe have taught you.
I Have A Pet
Pets make great companions. They are there for you when you get home or need comfort. One delusional individual claims that they have a “pet purple elephant.” Once you start seeing those creatures at your house, it may be time to seek help.
That’s What You Say
Emotions and personal prejudice can blur the facts of a situation. For the more neurotic, it’s a case of “trying to bend the truth of a story to someone who was literally at the same event.” When you start changing the truth, your paranoia begins to surface. Stick with the objective facts.
Do You Want To Hook Up?
When someone looks at us, our ego kicks in. For guys, they think they are in with a chance when “a girl glances at you once, thinking that she likes you.” Sorry to pop your bubble, but she is looking at you because you may have something on your face.
Will The True God Please Stand Up
When it comes to religion, people can be so dogmatic about God. According to one person, a sign of delusion is “Thinking your god is the real one and everyone else’s gods are made up.” So, how does one know who is following the real God? That’s a question for you to ponder.
I’m Pregnant
We know it’s biologically impossible for a man to bear a child. So if you believe that “men can give birth,” it’s a good indicator that you might need to seek out the guidance of a mental health professional.
Do You Want That Truth?
We all have our beliefs. They are like a good friend who supports and comforts us. There’s nothing wrong with that.
The problem comes when we have no logical or factual reason that supports the belief. When you create an illusory “fantasy world” in which you hide, don’t be surprised when you get labeled “delusional.”
