""when all you surround yourself with wishful thinkers...or better yet, delusional, vociferous people.""

You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

You can't help being delusional, though perhaps your tendency to be vociferous might be eased by a little self control.

You would also benefit greatly from a few English lessons,....and a brain transplant!

Now, if you really think we shouldn't rely on the word of delusional people, maybe you should bugger off!
