Do You sometimes lie to yourself to try to cope with your life ? Why?

Question

or

........any other things

although ,u really want this person in ur life soo much & u need this job & ........ & .........

so why are we doing this ??!!

Answer 1

Hi Noha,

I say that if a person has the ability to reassure themselves its a sign of mental health!

A confident person doesn't let outside sources derail them from living the kind of life they want for themselves.

Everything in this life is guided by a force higher then ourselves,so perhaps we are not lieing when we say to ourself we are better off! because maybe we really are better off and just dont know it.After all doesnt God know best?

Answer 2

nope , I never do that , I`m so realistic, pragmatic & practical.

:o)

Answer 3

I am one of the people who every thing goes opposite the way I wanted it most of the time, for example three times in a row something happen to get me away from what I want , so it is either lie to my self or have no faith in life .I prefer the first one . because I do not want to give up yet =)

Answer 4

it may be because we dont want to feel that we lose.

humans are happy when  feeling victorious.

but sometimes,u have nothing to do but accepting things as they r.

so simply,u start to convince ur mind that everything is fine and that it was better for u to not be with the person or to not get the job.

and slowly,ur mind will accept this idea.

Answer 5

Easier than facing our dissappointment.

Answer 6

No, I know if it was good or bad for me, but i know also that even if it was a bad thing or something good i miss, I know that its my luck , and that anything in this life must make u stronger in the future, and teach you to help you act when u face the same thing again,

Answer 7

well....

you can say sth better " thanks God for what you have chosen for me"....

and remember that everything is good and if you feel bad about sth remember that is better for you..may be it would hurt you onday....

peace

Answer 8

every bdoy should believe in god... then in himself before anything else..

so, how come he lie to himself...

i think somebody lies to himself isn't worth the others trust...

Answer 9

Yes, i do. it's just to raise our spirits and help us go over the downs we're going through to help us move on...

i believe in this theory but not to the fantasy extent...

God will always lead me to the right way eventually and i end up being content to what God has given me...

cheer up !
