Megalomania is a pretty extreme personality disorder, possibly mental illness. Unless you're a mental health professional, you don't 'deal' with it. If you need to associate with such a person (school, work, family), avoid as much as you can but when you can't, be pleasant, respectful, and nonconfrontational. The rest of the time, you don't gossip or speak negatively about this person. If you find this person bullying you or attempting to bring harm or blame to you, don't confront, document. If the person's behavior indicates there might come a time you need to report the behavior, it will be helpful to have some support in the form of written dates and incidents to back up your complaint. Meanwhile, just keep a low profile with this person.
