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!
