Lying to yourself

We lie everyday. Most of the time its to other people but actually some people lie to their selves. They do not want to believe a certain thing and just brush it off even though it matters. The reasoning for lying to themselves is the same as lying to others to try and protect themselves and make their situation better. Most of the time we and me included do not think of lying like that. We actually lie to ourselves often but do not think nothing of it. This is just another way of lying and a way that most people do not think of or even consider lying.
