How to Deal with a Delusional Person
This post is about how to deal with a delusional person.
There are four important tips in better handling a stubborn and delusional person.
What is a delusional thinking?
A delusion is a belief that is clearly false and that indicates an abnormality in the affected person’s content of thought.
The false belief is not accounted for by the person’s cultural or religious background or his or her level of intelligence.
What is stubbornness?
Stubbornness is a personality trait in which a person refuses to change their opinion about something or refuses to change their mind about a decision that they have made.
Stubborn people have a resolute adherence to their own ideas and opinions.
Stubborn and delusional people are incredibly frustrating and annoying to be around, talk to, and have anything in common with.
Well, that is my opinion, but do you agree with my assessment?
Toxic and narcissistic people can often be the most delusional of them all.
I remember a man who was grossly overweight, stressed beyond belief, and was on more medication for blood pressure and other issues than you could imagine.
When his wife and friends warned him “you need to start dieting and being healthy,” how do you reckon this delusional man responded?
“I am perfectly fine and in perfect shape, there is nothing wrong with me!” he said.
This poor man died awfully young, due to his delusional thinking.
Now I know that is an extreme example and a tragic one, but it just goes to show you how dangerous being stubborn and delusional can be.
I know people who spend beyond their means, and are financially ruined, but they too believe “I am doing nothing wrong.”
I know people who smoke like chimneys, or drink like fish, but they too believe “I am doing nothing wrong.”
I know people who genuinely like to be aggressive and disagreeable for no reason at all and believe “I am doing nothing wrong.”
So how on earth do you deal with a delusional person?
If you are dating or married to one, I feel sorry for you, as I dated a delusional narcissistic woman once, and it was utter hell.
I would rather date an agreeable person, than a disagreeable person.
Remember they are looking to argue, and fight with anybody, especially those who expose the truth to them.

#1 – Be Routed in Reality
One thing that is incredibly annoying and frustrating with delusional people, is they live in a fantasy world.
The fat overweight and unhealthy man thinks he has the body and health of an Adonis.
The chain-smoking woman who coughs her lungs out thinks she is the epitome of health.
The excessive gambling addict without a penny to his name thinks he is rich.
The nasty and rude obnoxious woman believes she is God’s gift to men.
The narcissistic and arrogant boss thinks everybody that works for him loves their job.
Give me a break.
What do I mean by be routed in reality?
It is constantly seeking the truth, the real world, the world where behind the lies, behind the mask, behind the bullshit, you will be free.
With the delusional person the truth will set you free.
I was once a gambling addict for many years, and I became clean and sober in 2019.
I was finally free of this horrible addiction that was destroying my life.
I remember having former friends who were gambling addicts just like me.
I tried to convince them that gambling is a lie.
I would tell them, “you don’t need to do this, I hate seeing you lose all your money.”
But these delusional guys would not want to hear it.
“You are wrong SCG, I have a fool proof formula to beat the casino! Trust me I will be a millionaire in no time!” is what they would tell me.
There is no cheat code in gambling.
There is NO fool proof way to beat the casino.
The house always wins.
I will repeat that, the HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.
For a split moment I was almost convinced to be sucked into that addiction and begin gambling all over again.
Then I remembered why I was out, and how delusional and wrong they were.
“Gambling ruined my life,” I said to myself, “live in the real world SCG.”
You must at the very least even if they do not want to hear it, live in the reality, and face the truth, even if it hurts.
The delusional person wants to create a fake life, and a fake reality.
And the more you associate with them, they want you to fit into this fake existence.
Stay in the real world.

#2 – Watch What They Do
When it comes to a delusional person always watch they do, never what they say.
The delusional person like a narcissist tells everybody what they want to hear.
And even themselves, just to make people feel better.
It is a simple yet effective tactic to simply deflect the attention away from them.
There was once a woman I dated who never had a driving license.
She was in her 30s, and she had failed a few times in the past.
But she had gotten lazy, and happy to have others drive her around.
When we were dating, she promised me the following:
“In the next 6 months I will do my theory.”
“In the next 12 months I will apply for my test.”
“In the next 1-2 years maximum I will own a car.”
What do you reckon she did?
In the years I knew her, she just did her theory test, which expired because she left it for way too long.
She never kept to one of her promises.
I motivated and encouraged her to drive because I mean why the hell not?
But she was utterly delusional, lazy and a waste of time.
She would always make excuses as to why she never persisted with getting the license.
She would blame the following:
The weather was not good
They are not accepting any applicants
I do not need to drive I can use the bus.
But on top of all that bullshit, she would show off and straight up LIE to people how great a driver she was.
“I am the best driver in the world, I am getting a car next week.”
Ridiculous.
Delusional people are fabricators of the truth.
They will exaggerate until the cows come home.
They will manipulate others to believe their bullshit.
Never ever believe a word they say.
Never ever trust them either.
Watch what they do, their actions, never their words.

#3 – Request Compromise
The very least you can do with a delusional person is to request a compromise.
What is a compromise?
A compromise an agreement or settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.
Now I know exactly what you are thinking:
“But SCG they are stubborn, difficult, they never agree to anything I ask or say?”
I get all that but if you NEVER ask, you NEVER get or KNOW.
There was once a guy I knew who had a drug addiction.
He was so wrapped up in his addiction, I did everything in my power to help him.
Unfortunately, he never wanted to listen, learn, or know he was harming himself.
“I got it all figured out, there is nothing wrong with me,” he said.
So, I asked for a very reasonable and good compromise.
“I love hanging out with you, but I do not want to socialize with you when you are stoned or taking drugs. I want to be with you when you are sober, deal?”
Originally, he got offended by my request, and said no.
But over time, he reached out to me.
“I heard what you had to say, and ok, I will hang out with you sober.”
I hung out with this guy every few weeks for a chat and a walk and he stuck to his word.
We never discussed his addiction.
We never discussed his issues.
We just walked, talked, and hung out as he was good company.
You are going to be disappointed to think you can convince a delusional person.
Or worse you are going to change a delusional person.
Give up the fantasy.
We are not here on this earth to change and lecture people that are stubborn.
All we can do is show we care.
And the very minimum they can do is compromise.
But what if they do not compromise?
You need to then take a good long serious think about your relationship with them.
I have had to cut ties with many stubborn delusional people.
I do not have the time or energy to butt heads and argue with such people.
You should not either.

#4 – Disengage
I touched on this in the previous point, but you need to possibly have a seriously long hard look at the delusional person in your life.
Delusional people are draining, negative and sorry to admit this, a complete waste of your time and life.
A leopard will never change its spots.
A disagreeable person will always be disagreeable.
A stubborn person is stubborn.
Ignorant people are always going to be ignorant.
Uneducated people will never seek to learn.
Arrogant people believe they know better.
Make friends and associate with genuine people that want the best for you instead.
The time and energy invested in delusional people has a terrible ROI.
You will hardly gain anything positive by continuing to do so, nor get anywhere.
Do yourself a favour and disengage.
