Brief Answer:
Yes, patients with delusion of grandeur may have more self love.

Hi again dear,
The patients with delusion of grandeur think that they have special abilities.
So, they may have more self love.
Anyway, this is a wrong perception of the reality and need treatment.
Talk therapy, as I mentioned above, can be very helpful in treating this diagnosis.
Hope it helps dear.
