What’s denial?
If u know the truth, but afraid to live with that, and chose to be something you know it’s wrong, that’s denial.
According to www.wikipedia.com ‘Denial is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person faced with a fact that is uncomfortable or painful to accept rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence. The subject may deny the reality of the unpleasant fact altogether (simple denial), admit the fact but deny its seriousness (minimisation) or admit both the fact and seriousness but deny responsibility (transference). The concept of denial is particularly important to the study of addiction’
Let me fresh you with an example.
If u r gay, or lesbian, and the community aren’t welcome of that, u r afraid to live with that, refused the fact, and tried to live in a denial, having a girlfriend to be with and share with, when you don’t feel the real love, you onlyfeel her warmth, and comfort with, like being with a bestfriend for the whole life. Then u live in denial.
If u love someone, learns that he doesn’t love you, but afraid to imagine how is life without him, pretend to be happy and live a life just as his friend when inside your heart you know you are dying for something else, then u live in a denial.
I do live in denial. I’ve been living in this denial forever that i forgot the taste of the real world.
I’m trying to be more positive and receive the fact, when i realized that living in a denial is living in your own dream, your fantasy. So beautiful that I can’t find my way out. I still live in that denial. I don’t know until when, but I do know it isn’t real.
The rainbow always curve beautifully, till the rain comes and sweep its beauty away off this world.
