Grandiose Delusions:

Grandiose delusions, or delusions of grandeur, are false, exaggerated beliefs that one possesses superior traits, power, wealth, importance (being famous, godlike, or destined for great things), or accomplishment. The delusions provide a sense of meaning, purpose, or self-identity for the individual, who doesn’t recognize their beliefs as false, even when confronted with contradictory evidence. It’s a symptom of psychotic disorders (schizophrenia) and severe mood disorders (bipolar disorder), but is also linked to severe forms of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) or substance abuse. Narcissists, in particular, might believe they possess special powers, have a unique purpose in life, or are destined for greatness. Grandiose delusions can negatively affect physical, social, and emotional wellbeing, as well as occupational and social functioning. Also see Megalomania. Symptoms include:

• Exaggerated self-importance: Believing they are exceptionally talented, intelligent, powerful
• Special abilities: Claiming to possess unique or supernatural powers
• Religious delusions: Feeling chosen by God, having a divine mission
• High social status: Believing they are famous, wealthy, or possess significant influence
• Invincibility: Feeling immune to harm, illness, or death
• Unique purpose: Feeling a strong sense of destiny or a special calling in life
