Delusional Attachments??
Hello, I’m not gonna act like I know a lot about these terms, but I have been doing research for a good while now and I am so very confused. I’ve been seeing this term “delusional attachment” going around and out of curiosity, I decided to do research and also to educate myself on the matter because someone I know believes they are a da. I found that there is absolutely no professional research on it, only a few tumblr blogs and amino posts along with one website and a carrd. I tried to keep looking and found nothing that gave too much information of what it really was. I kept digging and did more research and found that “Delusions of Grandeur” This made so much more sense and has good research on it, and I just don’t understand why people are trying to make a new term for it. The two don’t seem to be very different, and from what I’ve read the da term was created by someone who is not a professional, and also homophobic and racist. I find it upsetting that there’s a pride flag for it too. It is enabling an awful person and welcoming it into the LGBTQ+ community, as well as feeding into the idea that being LGBTQ+ is a mental illness. I feel like not many people know about Delusions of Grandeur, seeing as people are saying delusional attachment. Delusions of Grandeur is a persons belief that they somebody(or thing) else. They genuinely believe this, while with a delusional attachment they are aware that they are not truly that character, which seems to be bs because...It wouldn’t be a delusion. The delusions impact these people’s every day lives and they won’t listen to any form of reality checking. I may just be confused and also talking out of my ass, but ??? What is going on? Can someone please tell me more? (if anyone that knows anything come across this) I didn’t mean any offense by this, I am genuinely confused.Â
