(2,332 posts)He knows that most of what he says isn't true, and he doesn't care in the least about it. All he cares about is that what he says lets him 'win' or makes him superior to everyone else in the moment.
So it's not about what he believes or a lack of awareness about reality. That's a normal person explanation, an he's not normal. We have to stop thinking that we can apply the standards of normal people to him, because he isn't normal. Normal standards don't apply to him at all.
What's really going on is that he expects people to believe whatever he says, no matter what comes out of his mouth, and we can never question it. Even if it contradicts what he said two seconds ago--nobody can doubt his authoritah. He's always right, never wrong, and we lowly peons (everyone not him) are never to doubt or question him, for one nanosecond.
So erase from your mind the notion that he doesn't know what reality is. He does know, but he's determined to make reality do what he wants, at any and all cost, to feed his megalomania. Even if it means lying to get that.
