“Delulu is the solulu,” that’s Gen Z for “delusion is the solution.” Is the newest TikTok trend, a grandchild of the manifestation movement, worth taking seriously? Originating within the sphere of social media, specifically TikTok, the buzzword “delulu” initially centered around dating—a strong belief that someone could be interested in you, even when all signs pointed elsewhere. Over time, it has evolved into a versatile mindset, with people applying it to various domains of life. It's about faking confidence so convincingly that you can turn your aspirations into reality, even when the odds seem stacked against you.
