      Why are people in denial that antonyms cannot be synonyms? Why do people think that effort can be the antonym of fail when effort is already the acronym of fail? Why do we lie to ourselves and play stupid when the truth is we don't succeed because we effort, we only succeed when we achieve our purpose. Something effort is done with the intent of achieving, but is typically unsuccessful and is uncertain to succeed. The opposite of fail means succeed. Effort never meant succeed.

    I have seen this first hand and could not believe it. My daughter's boyfriend told both my husband and I in front of her that he was not ready for a serious relationship because he wanted to focus on school. When I mentioned it to her later on she denied him saying that. How is that possible? We were at the dinner table talking about the future when he said that. She completely denied it.

      It’s more than that. Were she to accept reality, it would require her to take an action (dumping the bf) that she doesn’t want to take.
      She has a choice. Face a painful reality, or believe a comforting lie.

      Alright then, live the truth that you don't do the antonym of fail because you effort when effort is the acronym of fail and effort's true definition means attempt. Attempt never said you succeed. You don't do the opposite of fail until the effort you do actually makes you SUCCEED.

    I deal with a person I believe to have denialism. He rejects reality and makes the world the way he want's it to be. When you talk to him, if what you are saying doesn't fit in with his made up world he will 1) Ignore what is being said; or 2) Change and manipulate what's being said so it fits in with his made up world; and if he can't do either and is forced to confront something he will 3) Argue with you about things he knows something about. He also exhibits extreme pessimism. I believe they do this to cope with the reality that they can't read and write and they have had to watch all his family and friends careers far exceed his. Does this sound like Denialism?, How do I handle it?

    Hey, guys, does this sound like denial? I inadvertently offended and condescended my boss, but I didn't mean to, and I don't think I owe her an apology. Heck, I actually don't think I did anything wrong.
    For context, my college's disability services was hosting a program to educate and prepare high schoolers in Special Ed, who were considering enrolling here. We caterers were serving the food, and every time I saw my boss talking to a high schooler, I would immediately go over there and either a. provide whatever excuse to get her somewhere else, or b, offer my help to the kid. My boss eventually concluded that I was deliberately trying to keep her away from the Special Ed students, and she insisted I tell her what was going on. I reluctantly admitted I was trying to prevent her from potentially saying anything offensive to the learning-disabled kids. How I wasn't sure she would be 100% respectful; that I worried she might question them if they make any honest mistakes (well, honest to disabled learners, not the general population), even if unintentionally. When she expressed her offense at such a judgmental, faithless perspective, I basically said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. I was just trying to keep their feelings from getting hurt, just to be on the safe side. I mean, having a learning disability is tough, especially when others don't understand it and make the disabled feel less. They get condescended very easily, and I didn't want them to feel that way." And I know from experience, especially regarding my boss. She once sternly questioned me for putting black linens on the tables for the wedding reception instead of white, the correct color (but in my defense, we usually do black linens for any event, and I don't even generally set the reception linens). Oh, and she was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift. One of our student leader's responsibilities is organizing who works which shifts on the schedule, and my boss scolded him for not noticing I had signed up to go solo. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen" (something like, that, so I'm not perfectly quoting her), and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me.
    So _of course_ I didn't want those poor kids to speak with her; if she could say what she said to me, what the heII is she gonna say to teens in Special Ed? I was just trying to protect their pride; it's a tradition for people to undermine it through ridicule or underestimation. My boss needs to learn how far she went, so I think the feeling of being belittled and labeled was good for her (even though it wasn't my intention, of course). I don't think I have anything be sorry for. She merely pushed me to the point it got to, so it's _her_ fault. So my question is, am I in the traditional state of denial where I'm doing more wrong than right?

    I was gonna ask "so all of this describes me but I don't know what I'm in denial about. I feel like I'm being very reasonable" but I think I viewed what denial is incorrectly. Denial is being bombarded with a problem and not fixing it so you developed these symptoms to coup, not seeing the problem at all is delusion maybe. Face and act on the problem constructively and effectively.

    🤔i use to be in denial about my sexuality, in time i turned to God and im quite confident i will be healed from sexual immoral ventures. This next one is tricky. I am in denial about my physical appearance. I carry myself well and and is in good shape and gaining muscle, and clean cut when tbings get crazy, and tall. When i look in the mirror i do not see a bad looking guy, even handsome when i get my style in order, but yet, i am rejected and looked over by women 🤔. Confusing because I do not know the truth, maybe it is my personality? Maybe it is my looks? I am saying this out of confusion. Nobody has the balls to tell me lol. It would need to be an unbiased person. or maybe there is no truth.

    re: 10,00 the church
    pls look at ur own denial of the paradigm.
    which is?
    It's like the goldilocks idea of the universe -- how everythng is ''just right'' so that ''life had a chance to flourish'' duuuuuuuuuuuuuh
    no. it is just that on its way to entropy the universe inevitably passes through this split second of goldilocks stability, lookimng like forever to our wee eye. Nothing was set up by anything nor anybody, it's just a moment.
    Similarly, the entire point of the catholic church is pedophilia and the surrounding paraphernalia is a constructed goldilocks of apparent stability. It is not that pedophilia just came out of those ''just right'' conditions, as you describe ---- 'scuse the repetition (all three bears went down on abuse charges btw).
    If you weren't in denial regards that fish/water paradigm you would see what is going on.

    I wanted to like this but its just wrong in that you’re not organized well. Its presented as if these are categories of denial but consequences are throw in. Also, positivity doesn’t always indicate denial and neither does incongruence. Keep reading and trying. I know you can improve. Also, have a focused intention. 🫶
