I asked a question on here, and one answerer said I may be deluded because of the way I worded something! But it did rise to my attention that I may be a bit deluded... For example, I liked this guy. I wasn't completely convinced he liked me, but somehow for ages I was convinced there was something there with no real evidence. I fantasise a lot about things in my head and day dream all the time, especially about him. Because of one look I get really suspicious he might like me and I get carried away! I don't mean to, and I hope it's not me being arrogant about myself thinking everyone likes me. I'm also quite paranoid and I jump to conclusions in almost every situation possible. Do you think I have delusion disorder as I'm quite worried? I'm 13. Sorry for the silly question!

No don't worry, everybody does this when they like someone, especially when you don't know for sure yet if the person likes you back. I fantasize whole scenarios in my head, I sometimes even imagine up a relationship with a guy I like. It's just wish fulfillment and it isn't harming anyone. The fact that you know the difference between fantasy and reality proves that you aren't deluded. Deluded would be actually believing that you have a full on relationship with the guy and acting on it and telling people you are together, when you haven't even ever spoken to him and he doesn't know who you are, for example. Don't take seriously insults from YA! users, many of them are just passive aggressive idiots. Plus, they have never met you, so their opinion doesn't mean anything.
Keep lil away from boys until you are 17 or 18. You don't have to fantasise at this small age. Just behave urself. You are normal. But you are confused because your mind is too small to understand complex things. Let your brain grow.
