Antidote to self hatred and pessemism is healthy delsusion?

OK, OK. Maybe it a bit too optimistic, but I came across this video about kanye West and how delusion (or more so high self esteem) can help people be healthier and get their dreams accomplished. Being called delusional and crazy for my YAPpiness and refusal to play along with abusive people used to bring me down, but maybe I need to redefine "crazy" and "delusional" as compliments instead.
MAPs and children are beaten down to believe they are worthless and only end up giving in to the the abusive cycle of antis, which is what the antis want. Breaking free of that is one of the ways we can fight back, and perhaps we need to take their slurs and use them our benefit. If we only think about how bad things are and give in to pessimism, no mater how realistic it may be, we give up fighting back and making things better for adults and youths alike.
