optical delusion 

When you see things as you want them to be, not as they really are.

That fox is really staring at me, she wants me to know that she wants me. Dude you're under an optical delusion, that's a glare not a stare, and if you go over there, she'll slap you blind.

EU Delusion

European fans ability to be completely deluded about how strong their teams are and how relevant their country is. They live in a bubble where they are told how good they are at everything. Then eventually when they get slapped around internationally, they are dumbfounded. This is often pre-empted by or followed by EUxcuses.

A: Hey man, did you see that X team got destroyed in group stages?
B: Yeah, but they were probably the second best team anyways.
A: Wow, that is some EU delusion!
B: No, they only lost because of the weather that day. They aren't used to hot weather. I already said they might lose because of this!
A: Okay, you're just making EUxcuses

Cult of Delusion 

An apt and often used description of the flock of white supremacist true believers who are somehow hooked into the mind boggling belief in the second coming of 45.

As I watched the somewhat fearful journalist interviewing some of the rally’s attendees, I could feel the deeply held seething anger and racially driven entitlement fueling this Cult of Delusion.

mass cultural delusion 

A common misbelief shared by many of the same culture or region.

Penny: Um, me, okay, I'm Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know.

Sheldon: Yes, it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the Sun's apparent position relative to arbitrarily defined constellations and the time of your birth somehow effects your personality.

Penny: Participate in the what?

Cyber Delusion 

The whole thing is a philosophical experiment within a sociological experiment within a virtual experiment within your own little delusion of "the collective" while you are alone in your room typing to an electronic box on your desk...

...of your delusional interaction with other chat members, who are merely different aspects of your mind...personified into compartmentalized "others"...

... yet they are simply preprogrammed chat icons responding to your delusional grasp of having a conversation...

These people in this chatroom sure have their cyber delusion on.

Immature Autist Delusion 

When ignorant people delude themselves and think that all autists are immature mainly due to mental retardation. This is of course false as most autists have been proven to be highly intelligent and mild functioning and autism itself isn't a mental illness. It is more of a developmental disorder and the more emotionally immature autists would generally be referred to as the Spergs.

Too much people suffer from immature autist delusion. I can guarantee you right now that I may be autistic but I always strive to be highly mature.
