Delude means to deceive or trick someone into believing something that is not true. It's like when someone tells you a story that sounds convincing, but in reality, it's all made up. It's like being led to believe that your favorite toy is hiding behind a closed door, but when you open it, you realize there was never a toy there to begin with. It can be confusing and frustrating to realize that you've been deluded, especially when you trust the person who has deceived you. It's important to be aware of signs that someone might be trying to delude you, so you can protect yourself from falling for their lies.
