π True Delulu - no evidence required, main character regardless
Pictures the successful future before checking any evidence, and pushes forward on that conviction.
What's this level like?
For True Delulu, you're obviously the main character of your own life. Long before you check the evidence, you've already pictured the successful future β and you push forward believing it. "Delulu" now reaches well past K-pop fandom to describe surviving a harsh reality on borderline-delusional optimism, and True Delulu lives that stance daily.
You've drafted an acceptance speech before an audition or application even got a response, and "I'll be different" carries you through plans everyone around you is warning against. Bad feedback becomes "they just don't get it," and a failure reads as foreshadowing for the twist that's coming. Some researchers read this less as blind self-victory and more as a genuine psychological defense mechanism for protecting self-esteem.
Self-belief solid enough that ordinary setbacks don't dent it, and the nerve to jump into things other people haven't even started β these are your biggest weapons. That certainty also draws genuine concern about pushing forward without evidence. You don't need to give up the conviction, but for money or major decisions, it's worth asking someone you trust once: "how does this actually look to you?"
