For me, (having beliefs not shared by others) has multiple expression or just one that i can't figure out as I'm having a f*** disorder called OCD, It has already made several bizarre meanings i can't share cuz it to be too silly to share
Possible meaning for me: The beliefs the delusioned persons has is not shared or they usually don't share to/with others

Would you like to help explaining correct meanings?
