When someone tells themselves or believes in something thats a delusion to make them feel better about themselves or their situation in life.
Example:
John: Dude im an 8/10, a girl I like said i was.
Jimmy: Are you dating this girl?
John: No she friendzoned me. She said I wasn't her type.
Jimmy: John your obviously not an 8/10, if you were she wouldn't have friendzoned you. Saying "you're not my type" is a virtue signal, meaning she doesn't find you attractive. Stop Coping, exept reality, and reject delusion.
