reputation dysmorphia

The misperception of one's own personhood.

A (psychological) anxiety disorder in which the affected person is excessively complementary of his or her own character; has an exaggerated sense of self-worth and importance; overvalues his or her intellect, talents and beauty; and overestimates his or her popularity.

If George W. Bush thought he is universally loved he would clearly be suffering from a case of reputation dysmorphia.
