Enjoyment in Others’ Pain: A sadistic person may feel a sense of power or satisfaction from your suffering. They might taunt you about your loss to elicit a strong emotional response, feeding off your pain.

This type of self-delusion often creates a dangerous distance between how… Read More Self delusional
When someone repeatedly relies on others to overlook their faults without any effort to change, they’re taking a lot for granted. They’re assuming they can act with impunity and that the love or tolerance others offer will be endlessly available. This disconnect between their perception and reality speaks to a type of self-delusion; they convince themselves that as long as they appear a certain way, they are that way—without realizing that behavior, not presentation, is what reveals true character over time.… Read More Blind Tolerance
