An inflated view of oneself as good, able, and desirable person is referred to as a positive illusion.
Positive illusions are exaggerated positive self-images that people have of themselves. They may consider themselves as good, able, and desirable, often unrealistically. These are a form of self-deceptions to make oneself feel good, or to maintain one’s self-esteem.
Positive illusions have both advantages and disadvantages. They help people lead a fairly happy and contented life, to manage problems and stress, and give confidence in pursuit of their goals.
But ungrounded optimism about oneself such as one’s health may lead to actions or inactions that could be detrimental in the long-run. For example, refusing to seek treatment when affected by some illnesses due to the belief that one is healthy with a strong immune system.
