Wishful thinking is a myth and doesn't affect beliefs at all, it isn't even a form of self-delusion or self-deception.

Wishful thinking doesn't effect actual belief but makes you think it does, you go into self-denial when you succumb to it and it's a form of self-delusion and deceiving yourself.

Yeah I guess most of it can be pretty harmless Smile

And maybe some people need it to degree.

Not wanting to condescend but I also wouldn't wish a life of misery on anyone who really does need it if they really do!
