How to Deal With Delusional People

[lulumoon]

*NUDGEABLE, some of us have yet to learn better!* I survived child neglect and abuse, but it's the lack of social training that held me back. Thank you to all of the patient, kind people who modelled better behavior, and told the truth with love to me. 👍🙏💞

The "aware don't care" ones are the manipulative ones. To me, it's like, "are they actually delusional or do they just pretend to be?"

I tell you what a woman told me when I started out in the army. She was a sergeant E7 and she never talked that much. Finally I asked her why.
She told me because of three reasons: 1) Some people are insane and it's wise to find out who they so I can avoid them or find out how to handle them.
2) Some people are out for themselves 24/7/365 and they're looking for me to say something that they can reinterpretate to use against me.
3) Some want to curry favor with me, so they can get advantages. That will show favoritism and it will ruin the cohesion of the my unit.

In a society hidden behind a screen. Everyone see's the events of the world displayed like a shadow on a cave wall. The world lives in a deluison, and no one understands how important it is people become more aware. Delusions are everywhere and its frightening that people are just openly conceding to them. I wish to learn more.

I’m 19 and I live with my mom who is 54. For the past three years she been convinced that we’re being followed and watched by the government/other people. I was tolerable at first because I didn’t know better and it was suddenly new, but now she’s accusing me of plotting against her. She’s been accusing her closest friends and even some of our family of plotting against her too. I wish I could get away but she’s all I have 🥺😔

If someone has a delusional disorder, then professional help is most likely necessary. Unfortunately, these people often won't seek treatment voluntarily. They can often be violent.

I’ve witnessed this and since I’m getting a grip on my own life I’m not letting someone else’s delusional or drama behavior get to me in front of them.

This is common among people with Cluster B personality traits, particularly narcissism.

I'm dealing with a ex-girlfriend who is harassing me and current girlfriend, she believes that I'm the ultimate Evil, she very well of her actions and what she is doing. Because she believe her doing is making a impact. This has been going on for almost a year, I've taken her to court about to get a restraining orders but the judge has denied it due to lack of evidence.

It’s so hard to show face every day when I’m dealing with this in my household, my Popps thinks my mom had an affair. And with the walls around us it’s like the world truly can’t see all the shit he’s putting her through

[alimccreery]

It’s hard sometimes to not show on my face that these individuals with this type of mindset are very disturbing to be around. My smile would be fake because how can you not see and recognize disturbing behavior.

This is scary… once encountered people who copied everything in this girls life then tried to shame her for trying to take ownership of the things in her life that were hers. I’m talking down to hair and fashion sense…it was the ABSOLUTE scariest and most TRAUMATIC thing to watch. Mental Health issues are a real concern in our society.

my husband has been going through huge amounts of stress that has been causing him to lash out and think things that aren't true. i'm really struggling how to make him see himself the way i do. to redirect him somehow and i'm failing. i feel so lost. 😭

[diveegenewonyoung]

I used ti be delusional and I have recovered well but still suffers from paranoid personality disorder. My guilt of past actions is hunting me and I am scared that I return to my old state.

Thank you for providing your book on audible.
Finding it there made my day

[robsmith]

I'm reading your book, good read so far. We need to fix ourselfs we can't change others.

[buddhaneosiddhananda]

It's not about being self aware... we need to become aware of life... the world around us... self focus limits our understanding of life...

[jamespatterson]

I suffered from delusions and grandeur ideas before, terrible beast to tackle, had to implement hour long meditation and consciousness increasing exercises daily for 3 years or so. Ever since i mastered my own psychology (easier said than done) i realised i was really good at it and became increasingly frustrated when i realised my mother was the one who had passed delusional genetic traits to me...she had mad delusions and is extremely detrimental to our family. It was completely mind blowing how someone could be so deeply entrenched in delusion and not see it at all. But then again i suppose i was like that to...but i surrendered my ego so it is possible. To this day it blows my mind, not just that a person can be in delusion, but how many are in some level of delusion or another. very interesting field to study

This was really helpful and wonderful to learn from you. I am often worried about the health status of my father because i am more and more trying to understand and analyze the kind of person he is and why he does what he does and what he has done. Cheating on my mother. Leaving the family for another woman and her kids. Getting them a huge half a million dollar home. Everything they ever wanted. Being extremely manipulative and narcassictic. Even going as far as believing his own lies and events that never happened. It is bizarre. I believe he is the "aware, dont care" type. Ive been trying more and more to convey my feelings and speak with him logically over certain subjects but even in the end he still chooses to steamroll over me. Divorce is awful. I wish my parents never split up. I have handled it well. But over time now i have come to trying to work with him and trying to understand him. Even if its toxic. I dont understand him and i feel trying to understand it even if its negative. Will hopefully give me some ease to mind. But sadly it has not. It has just made me worry more about my dad's health. The choices he has made in life. And where he will go when he dies.

[williamdevonshire]

My dad seems HIGHLY delusional and i find its very hard accepting for some reason.

I will try to point out logical inconsistencies, but logic doesnt seem to work for some reason...
Very annoying for me because I try to be as in alignment with reality as possible and dont understand how people can be so delusional....
