99.999% of all people playing any particular game all think they are complete Rock Stars, and totally AWESOME at the game, when in fact that is the exact percentage of people who totally suck at the game in question.
Scrubby: I AM SOE LEEEET AT DIS GAEM!!!!! :P
Bloodchills: Scrubby, you have caught the Delusion of Awesomeness. See your doctor, breh.
Basically anyone (mostly 1980s and 90s kids but not all of them) who deludes themselves and thinks that the past decades they grew up in were a lot better than the current decade they live in now despite a lot bad stuff still happening in those past decades.
90s kid: I hate today! I miss the late 20th century so much! 80s and 90s forever!
2000s kid: When will you overnostalgic people learn that EVERY decade has bad things happen in them? Were you not old enough to notice the AIDS epidemic, the Lockerbie bombing or the eruption of Mount St. Helens which killed 57 people?
Or how about in the 90s if you were even aware of the Bill Clinton sexual misconduct allegations, the suicide of Kurt Cobain, the Columbine shooting, the Oklahoma city bombing or the rise of teen pregnancy?
90s kid: Yeah, but the music back then was SO much better!
2000s kid: At least I grew up in a time where I was able to access my favorite songs and albums faster thanks to the internet. I swear most of you 80s and 90s kids suffer from a serious case of decade delusion.
Self-delusion occurs when a person tricks themselves into thinking something, which usually isn't true. This might happen when something very bad happens, like a close family member or friend got into an fatal accident, and you have no clue if they're okay or not, because you didn't know it was fatal. You may try to make yourself believe they are okay, when they are sadly not. You delude yourself.
Sally thinks her dog'll be okay. She really has deluded herself. (self-delusion. She deluded herself into thinking her dog would be okay)

A non-fiction book by the genius Richard Dawkins, one of the most important books ever written. This book is so important, because it may one day convince enough people of the truth. With the majority of the world atheist, society can advance more quickly with freedom from religion and all of it's restrictions.
Everyone should read The God Delusion with an open mind

When no matter how much a professional sports team of Toronto is loosing, they are always the winning team in the eyes of hopeless fans.
- Toronto won last night! They are definitely going to the playoffs now!
- Ummm... that's their first win all season.
- Yeah! But they are going to win all the rest now, I can feel it.
- Facepalm. Congratulations. You are completely stuck in the Toronto Delusion.

Something that is merely for show or aesthetic/cosmetic purposes only --- it simply makes something APPEAR better or more attractive, but it does not actually add to the strength/quality/usefulness of the person or object.
Excellent examples of optical delusion are paint, Bondo, fancy costumes, plastic surgery, etc... they may make something or someone LOOK really nice on the outside, but the cosmetically-altered subject is still the same decrepit undesirable underneath.
A personal celebration of non-reality
Livin' the delusion I am a master guitar player.

Livin' the delusion I know exactly where I am going.
I can handle LSD
All these other people are crazy.
