deluded
This term carries a strong negative connotation, implying a state of profound self-deception or a detachment from reality. It is more severe than being "mistaken" or "wrong," as it suggests a persistent refusal to acknowledge the truth despite clear evidence. It often evokes a sense of pity or contempt toward the subject.
In usage, it frequently appears in the passive voice or as a predicative adjective to describe someone's mental state. While "deceived" implies that an external agent lied to the person, "deluded" emphasizes the internal state of the victim who maintains a false belief, often regardless of whether they were initially tricked.
