Topic: Why Lie to Yourself | |
---|---|
Why do it?
Its hard to make sense of it.... can anyone explain it to me? Plz |
|
|
|
It's called rationalizing.
It's also called denial. |
|
|
|
Well some people lie to themselves to escape reality of what is going on around them.

Lie to yourself often enough
and you'll believe it If you believe it then its true So then you're not lying and you start this because you don't want to face the truth denial is a survival skill |
|

|
For some people, delusion is preferable to reality.
Some find solace in delusion, others find ways to avoid ever having to take any responsibility for anything. |

You have an interesting Point Rlynne
But why lie knowing that its not true? What keeps the truth/reality from seeming to be the "Wrong" way? |
|
|
|

You have an interesting Point Rlynne But why lie knowing that its not true? What keeps the truth/reality from seeming to be the "Wrong" way? because when it comes to the truth...it only matters what you think is true..the power of perception since morality is a learned predisposition....it can become unlearned and then there are proposals of sanity issues how does one determine who is sane? It may not be as easy as most think.... |

|
Im not sure what that is ^^"
Whats a "Mackerel"? |

Your good Rlynne ^^
Where sanity lacks or take to much...(Another poem to write) I wonder of my own...I seek help but they know not what to do or even say anymore.... |
|

|
Im not sure what that is ^^" Whats a "Mackerel"? It's a fish. I was playing off Dan's old "Fish" post. Conceptual continuity for the diehard forumists. |

The first fish i ever caught was a Mackerel, actually.
I am yet to catch a penis |
|
|
|
I guess I missed that one.....

LIE TO YOURSELF ALL YOU WANT AS LONG AS IT DOESNT HURT ANYONE BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE YOUR OWN LIES AND THAT MAKES THEM TRUE TO YOU IT DOESNT DO SO FOR THE OUTSIDE WORLD
