Attainability delusion

When a streamer's audience (usually male) fool themselves into thinking the streamer (usually female) can be attained for a relationship as long as she is single. This delusion is shattered when she reveals she is in a relationship, which, consequently, leads to indignant backlash by the horde of disappointed men.
Streamer: I have a boyfriend, guys!
Delusional man: Ohmahgerd but I thought you were mine.
Streamer: Sorry to shatter your attainability delusion, but you should've known better.
Delusional man: *proceeds to report all her accounts*

Sophisticated Brit Delusion

When a non-British person deludes himself/herself and thinks that all British people are nice and sophisticated which is really not true most of the time. There's rude and uncultured people everywhere, no matter what nationality you are.
American: Sometimes the people over here in the U.S. are so rude. I just wonder what it's like living in the U.K. where people are a lot nicer.

British person: Oh Hell no! I'm British and most of us here aren't bloody nice! You must be suffering from a case of sophisticated Brit delusion.

Delusion

OHOHOH! WE HIT A CORD WITH THAT ONE!
Hym "Nonono. Not a delusion! Perfectly linear reasoning! If (according to Jordan Peterson) EVERYONE would have been a Nazi... And I... Am doing THE OPPOSITE... Of what EVERYONE else is doing... Then... I would be the Not-Nazi. The Notzi (if you will). I would be that. I'm the Schindler. I mean, do you seriously believe for a single second that I would not keep Sarah Silverman locked in my house for years? Come on. We know me better than that."

capgras delusion

Perhaps the most fucked-up disorder to ever grace this planet. It's when someone holds the delusion that someone they know—a friend, relative, spouse, pet, anything like that—is replaced with an identical imposter.
Discovered by psychiatrist Joseph Capgras (who is also the namesake of the disorder).
The capgras delusion is terrifying.
