How to use "Delusive" in context?
Delusive is defined as having the tendency to deceive or mislead. This term is used to describe something or someone that is not really there, or that cannot be verified. Delusive thoughts and delusions can be very confusing and debilitating, causing people to feel like they are constantly under attack or in danger.
Delusive thoughts and delusions can be caused by a variety of factors, but the underlying problem is usually a lack of understanding or trust in your own mind. When you don't trust your own thoughts and feelings, it becomes difficult to differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary.
