Paranoia is a large category. Targeting the male group, we often see such delusions:
Ability delusion: The delusion that one has unparalleled power, supreme talent, insight, value, influence, knowledge, identity, and so on.
This fantasy of power and power actually manifests itself strongly when we are very young. For example, after watching cartoons, we imagine that we have a robot cat that can realize all our dreams; Imagine that we are Astro Boy, to punish the bad guys and save the world. When we grow up, the fantasy becomes: standing on the top of our office building overlooking the entire city... what an indescribable wonderful feeling!
Essence: Ability delusions are driven by men's natural desires. At the same time, behind the delusion of ability lies a man's suspicion of the power of his natural desires.
Love delusion: Patients may think they are in love with someone, or someone else is deeply in love with them.
The fantasy woman may be a star, celebrity, or female boss, or she may be an office beauty that every man secretly admires
There was a man who fell in love with a beautiful female colleague in the company and talked about this female colleague every day, telling stories about himself and her. But everyone around him knows that this female colleague not only has a boyfriend, but also the relationship between the two is very good. They are preparing for the wedding. Men's colleagues and friends will certainly use words such as "hooligans" and "neurotic" to describe his behavior. In fact, there is probably a man with inferiority complex hidden behind the delusion of love.
Essence: Behind the delusion of love, there is a man's inferiority complex hidden.
Persecuted delusion: Believing or feeling persecuted, slandered, deceived, conspiratorially treated, etc.
This type of person feels like they are being framed by a trap designed by colleagues, feels like everyone is dealing with them, being jealous of themselves, uniting to crowd out themselves, and speaking ill of their boss. Therefore, they ponder over what they say to their colleagues every day, and each time they chat with colleagues, they have to carefully recall whether they have disclosed any secrets or whether they are waiting for an opportunity to inquire... Such men are always on tenterhooks, I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention to myself, there will be disastrous consequences. Their fear of disasters is far higher than that of others, and their expectations of the coming of disasters are also far higher than those of others.
Essence: The delusion of being persecuted is mostly caused by excessive stress and anxiety without timely intervention.
Jealousy delusion: Believing that your spouse or lover is unfaithful to you.
This type of person collects some trivial supporting evidence (such as messy clothes, spotty sheets, men calling her, etc.),
Infer and confirm that your delusions are true. I always feel that other men have taken a fancy to their girlfriend or wife, and that their wife or girlfriend has some "private" contact with them, but she always behaves so seriously in order to deceive others... The jealousy delusion can be considered a kind of persecution delusion. The manifestation of jealousy delusion is mainly "jealousy". Our common "jealousy" is a form of jealousy. When vinegar reaches the point of "vinegar vat" or "vinegar sea", it may become a jealous delusion.
