Denial is a defense mechanism where individuals refuse to accept or acknowledge reality, particularly when faced with threatening or distressing information or situations. Denial involves minimizing, distorting, or outright rejecting evidence or facts that conflict with one's beliefs, values, or self-image, in an attempt to protect oneself from psychological discomfort or cognitive dissonance.
It’s easier to reject reality than face it. Denial explains why we avoid uncomfortable truths. 🙈❌ #Denial
