LOL...
... yes, they are!
"In a sense, narcissists are out of touch with reality. They are not mentally ill, like a psychotic ('cept Rudy and Alan Baker);
they are just unwilling to acknowledge truth that doesn't match their preferences." - Les Carter
Rudy's Delusions of Grandeur
Rudy's delusions of grandeur, are the false beliefs in his own superiority, greatness, or intelligence. Rudy experiences delusions
of grandeur, not just because he has low self-esteem; instead, Rudy believes in his own greatness and importance even in the face
of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Yes.
Rudy might, for example, believe he is destined to be the leader of the Usenet world, despite having no leadership experience and
DIFFICULTIES IN INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS.
Rudy's delusions of grandeur are characterized by their persistence. They are not just moments of fantasy or hopes for the future.
Symptoms of Rudy's Delusions of Grandeur
Delusions of grandeur vary greatly in their content, but they are similar to one another in that they involve the persistent
believe in one's own grandiosity. Common examples of delusions of grandeur include:
Belief that one has a special relationship with a supernatural entity. Cult leaders, for example, might believe they can
communicate with a god or that they are a manifestation of a god on earth.
Belief that one has a special relationship with a famous person or authority figure, such as the president.
Belief that one has a unique destiny. These destinies often involve power, fame, fortune, or supernatural concepts.
Causes of Delusion of Grandeur
Delusions of grandeur are ASSOCIATED WITH NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER (NPD), which is a mental health diagnosis listed in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
A NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY may cause Rudy to greatly overestimate his own importance and belief in his own uniqueness. THESE
DELUSIONS CAN ALSO BE SYMPTOMATIC OF SCHIZOPHRENIA.
Rudy's battle with schizophrenia causes him to experience delusions in which he believe he is a hugely powerful person and has a
great gift to give to the world.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
According to Rudy... that would be himself.
