message: By definition, the eponymous "liar" is not deluded, he is simply lying, exaggerating his sexual prowess with famous women for self-aggrandizement, not because he is psychotically deluded about the true nature of his relationship with the women in question, he is instead pathologically inclined to lie and tell grandiose stories to impress others. As amusing as Lovitz' portrayal is, it is manifestly not a case of erotomania, which would change the entire premise of the character and the comedy bit in question.
Therefore, I have removed it. 71.100.167.23 (talk) 06:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: ie, the delusional belief that someone is in love with you. It may or may not be the case that you also are in love with this other person.
I came down with this condition suddenly in the middle of my school year and had to drop out because of it. In my case, I did NOT want the attention I thought I was getting from strangers. It was a terrible, bizarre, and traumatic experience.  207.237.41.202 (talk) 09:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: As someone who has both experienced the sense of someone else possibly liking you (normal state) AND a delusional psychosis (crazay state), I can tell you the two are completely different in magnitude and in characteristic. 207.237.41.202 (talk) 11:09, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I do not think it is a disorder many have thought a person loved them but it was not the case.sometimes the person is insecure so they like the affection from the person but does not like whom the person is the person brakes the others heart to make himself feel better--Sweetheart2009 (talk) 22:11, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The situation that you have just described is not a disorder. Erotomania, however, is a rare type of psychosis. Roastporkbun (talk) 17:03, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I haven't made any change to the article, but as a psychologist I'd like to point out a error (that probably won't make much difference to most readers):  Glenn Close's character in Fatal Attraction did NOT exhibit erotomania.  She exhibited borderline personality disorder, with probably features of some other disorders as well (paranoia, anxiety, depression, etc.).  Erotomania would require the delusional belief that Michael Douglas' character was in love with her.  She was quite aware that he wanted nothing more to do with her -- she just wasn't going to take "no" for an answer.  Her BPD drove her to stalk him and escalate her revenge against him and his family.  But she did not labor under the delusion that he had a burning desire for her.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:4080:10C:C0D2:5438:5ED7:CD4C (talk) 01:22, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment re: Fatal Attraction

message: Just gone to add the ICD-10 code , but it classifies "excessive sexual drive" – this doesn't seem to tally with the article. I'm not sure if it's a case of the ICD being out-of-step with the DSM, my being a lay-reader, or something else. So thought I'd post first before blindly adding the ICD-10 code.

message: Why is this scientific article prominently illustrated with an image from a 19th century book of pseudoscience? It is not respectful of people suffering with this disorder, instead reinforcing stereotypes of “crazy people”. ScottMainwaring (talk) 16:41, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
