delusional thinking

Post Reply New Topic

Ha, well, God allegedly knows the number of hairs on each person's head.

Religion is the murkiest ground when discussing delusions. Frankly most religious belief starts to look delusional when held against empirical examination.

does this even make sense:

"Yes, and I am neurotypical."

I don't have delusions but I definitely am more paranoid than the average person. Pervasive paranoia.

Yes, unfortunately it does.

My existence has grandiose religious import.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. The question has been raised here before: is a person with schizophrenia neurotypical?

No, and self-diagnosed. Sometimes I think too hard about my place in the world, but I couldn't consider myself delusional.

I would rather have "schizophrenia" than be "neurotypical." Whatever it is that makes me fit to be institutionalized and drugged, I am still a better person than most of the people that I was educated and cared for by.

There is a difference. I think that this difference is characterized by the alleged schizophrenic being seen as having all of the worst traits of the neurotypical, by the NT. My alleged paranoia was the kind that makes me think that if a person hits me every day of my life he is likely to do it again tomorrow. Their kind of paranoia is seeing the devil's horns when my hair gets a little long and looks something like Jack Nicholson's from the 1970s. My paranoia gets me screwed over. Their paranoia gets me screwed over. Still, the reward that I get is that I am not a moron.

I have not had any delusional thinking that was original to myself. It was already related to things that were pounded into my head in church, school, and at home. Why would I think that my life had great religious import? Because someone pounded into my head the idea that God cares what I do with my penis. He has serious hissy fits and cuts himself and stuff if he finds out that I had a sexual thought. This isn't my delusion. It's supposed to be from the Bible, but you have to have a special kind of mind when you look for it.

I consider myself having eccentric thinking, rather than delusional.

Nope, not delusional. Although I don't think the truly delusional people would believe and admit that they are delusional, unless of course they had delusions in the past that they are now aware of.

i am sorry..I am back..please forgive...

I went through a pretty delusional phase when i was in my early 20's.

Now I am just irrational.

I AM the hight priestess of my own invented religion for going on 8 years now, but that has nothing to do with delusions..

No. I am fairly high on the paranoia scale, but not delusional to my knowledge.

I consider the majority of NTs to be both delusional and irrational.

Everybody does, and one's man delusion is another's inspiration and truth... think of how many people have caused great changes based on religious delusion... Martin Luther King comes to mind, the man was feebleminded in regards to the truth of the barbarity and falseness of the god of the bible, yet he went on to move and persuade people because of his "delusion".

There's also good scientific reason to believe that irrationality is necessary part of being a rational person: The ability to imagine and see beyond the available data, that can only happen through imagining and letting your mind run counter to what society and its social programming tells you how to think and behave, in other words you follow your own path and be original.

Many so called "delusional" thoughts are actually nuggets genius, but peoples mind's can't easily translate what's in their head to themselves, or to others directly via telepathy with all the experiences and data that the can see inside their mind. Words, speech and language is a poor communicator of things that can only be fully experienced in the data-space of a persons mind.

Many people cling to an illusion of social status. One of the ways that they cling is to refuse to listen to the minority report.
