In some cases, your delusions might be good for you.

If you think you're popular and well-liked, you can do well in social situations -- even if your perceptions of your popularity are unfounded. The key, according to a recent study, is how good you feel about yourself.

Or at least it was true for teens who participated in the study.

"Adolescents who lacked both a strong sense of their own social acceptance and who were rated by their peers as unpopular fared the worst, according to the study. They were increasingly more hostile, less sought out, and more withdrawn over time."

Maybe self-esteem IS all it's cracked up to be. As long as it's differentiated from arrogance.
