Denial is when you are not accepting reality because it is to hard. It is when you refuse to acknowledge that something is happening. (16)

Examples
1. A man hears that his wife has been killed, and yet refuses to believe it, still setting the table for her and keeping her clothes and other accoutrements in the bedroom.
2. Optimists deny that things may go wrong. Pessimists deny they may succeed. (16) |
