** In the end, after [[NobodyCallsMeChicken pushing Ash too far]] and insisting on continuing their battle when he tries to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere quit]] – Ash knowing his win won't change her attitude – he [[CurbStompBattle defeats all three of her Pokémon at once with his recently caught and barely trained Tentacool]]. While that makes Misty realize that he's surpassed her, she declares herself his rival after healing her Pokémon overnight and catching up the next day.

* A very short-lived case in ''Fanfic/ASmallButStubbornFire'' when Sabine begins to connect all of the dots to Marinette's recent behavior after Rolland comments that her daughter and Ladybug are a lot alike, she goes into denial and thinks all she has to do to prove that Marinette isn't Ladybug is go to her daughter's room and find her there, right after an akuma attack. Only she doesn't find Marinette in her room. Sabine is still in denial until she reluctantly reads Marinette's dairy and sees the hard truth. Then Ladybug arrives and de-transforms only seals the deal.

** As Chat Noir, Adrien repeatedly ignores Ladybug rejecting his amorous overtures, insisting that they're meant to be together because their Miraculi are a 'matched set'. He also ignores those who directly compare Chat Noir's harassment of Ladybug to Chloe's pursuit of ''him''.

** In ''Chloé's Lament'', her inability to accept the notion that others dislike her due to her acting like a SpoiledBrat is part of what dooms her to a SelfInflictedHell. She convinces herself that they were jealous of her ''position'' as the Mayor's daughter, and thus Wishes to [[RoleSwapAU trade places with Marinette]], expecting that she'll become a beloved superheroine while Marinette gets HatedByAll. Instead, she finds herself in a world where Marinette is popular among their classmates for being SpoiledSweet and supportive, while Chloe is despised for being a bullying brat who's [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty no longer shielded from the consequences of her actions]].

** When Chloe and several other classmates explain to Adrien just ''why'' Chat Noir's [[DoggedNiceGuy persistent pursuit]] of Ladybug is wrong, he dismisses it as them not really ''understanding'' the situation like he does.

-->'''Light:''' [[[spoiler:[[TheRival Stephen]]]]]'s oddly pleasant considering the last time we met, and I swiftly come to the conclusion that L hasn't told him that he loves me and that we're just going through a rough patch which involves impacting my face with his fist.

* In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8575201/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Escape-to-New-York Harry Potter and the Escape to New York]]", this is the main reason [[spoiler:Dumbledore ultimately loses his court case when he is charged with attempting to kidnap Harry and luring Voldemort to New York for the final confrontation; he had grown so used to being celebrated back in Britain that the idea that anyone wouldn’t praise him for his victory over Voldemort or that he could be condemned for his attempts to manipulate Harry simply never occurred to him. This delusion also ties into Hermione’s choice of final sentence for Dumbledore, letting him be trapped in an illusion where he succeeded in his plans because he would never properly accept why anyone was punishing him if he was subjected to any conventional prison sentence]].

* In ''Fanfic/{{Cultstuck}},'' most of the titular cultists are unable to see [[SirSwearsALot Karkat]] as anything other than the perfect, infallible reincarnation of [[MessianicArchetype the Sufferer]], and they interpret the slightest mundane thing he does as divine revelation. [[HumbleHero Karkat,]] on the other hand, is severely annoyed by this, as it means that none of them are really acknowledging him as a person or listening to his opinion. (He's tried to ''stop'' them being selectively oblivious, but... well, they are a cult.) This is PlayedForLaughs, but [[PlayedForDrama also drama]]: they expect/force Karkat to fit [[IncorruptiblePurePureness their image]] of the Sufferer, and have spent centuries producing propaganda and warping history to fit their beliefs.
