  1. Excellent points. I'd also add that some of the cause for this belief system is that more often than not, people think they are the exceptions to the rule. The belief in being special can blur objective self assessment and also in assessing others. ie. " they've cheated on others, but I don't think they'd cheat on me" or, " they're not responding to my messages because they're shy, busy, playing hard to get" In essence, when you see yourself as special you tend to believe others, if not seeing it at the moment, will in time. It blunts reality and creates optimism with no foundation.
