# Drinking One's Own Kool-Aid
|
|
|
|
> "Don't drink your own Kool-Aid"
|
|
|
|
**Drinking one's own Kool-Aid** is a form of systemic self-delusion
|
|
whereby an individual convinces themself
|
|
|
|
Contrast with [drinking _the_ Kool-Aid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid)
|
|
which generally connotates acceptance
|
|
of erroneous worldviews spread by _others_.
