Self-deception and non-acceptance of the truth.

Q: Why do people often deceive themselves, even when the truth is clear, but do not accept the truth??

A: People like to deceive themselves despite the fact that they see it in front of them is a psychological mechanism, not because we are stupid or unwise, but a way for the mind to protect itself from pain or uncomfortable feelings.

This is the main reason why this behavior is explained.

---

# # # * 1.Protecting yourself from pain (Denial) * *

This is a mechanism called denial. Our minds know that accepting the truth will bring severe pain, disappointment, or sadness, such as accepting that love is over or a great loss. To avoid that feeling, the mind chooses to create a new story or belief that makes us feel better for a moment, even if it is not true.

♪ # # * 2.Hope without giving up * *

Sometimes, self-deception is not a total rejection, but an attempt to stick to * * "hope" * *. We believe that if we are optimistic enough or try hard enough, something that does not come true can eventually become a desire to make everything better, even if it seems impossible.

♪ # # * 3. Fear to change * *

Accepting the truth usually brings * * change * *, and most people are afraid of change because it is to step out of the Comfort Zone. Accepting that a relationship is troubled can mean breaking up, which is scary and uncertain, so deceiving yourself is like maintaining the status quo so as not to face future ignorance.

# # # * 4. Keeping the image in mind * *

Sometimes we don't want to accept the truth because it will damage our self-image. For example, we believe that we are smart, but if we accept being deceived, it will shake that image. Deceiving ourselves will protect our * * "self" * * from unacceptable deficiencies.

---

In conclusion, self-deception is not unusual, but a method used by the brain and mind to deal with pain. However, to move forward, we have to be brave to finally face the truth, even if it is painful, but it opens the door to healing and growth.

... Read moreนอกจากสาเหตุหลักที่ได้กล่าวมาแล้ว การหลอกตัวเองและการไม่ยอมรับความจริง ยังเกี่ยวข้องกับกระบวนการทางจิตใจอื่น ๆ ที่ช่วยให้มนุษย์สามารถดำรงชีวิตได้อย่างสมดุลในสภาพแวดล้อมที่ซับซ้อน หนึ่งในกลไกสำคัญคือการใช้ "กลไกการป้องกันตนเอง" (defense mechanisms) ที่จิตวิทยากล่าวถึงเพื่อช่วยลดความเครียดและความวิตกกังวลต่าง ๆ เมื่อคนเราตกอยู่ในสถานการณ์ที่ทำให้รู้สึกไม่สบายใจหรือเกิดความขัดแย้งทางอารมณ์ หลายครั้งสมองของเราเลือกวิธีจากกลไกเหล่านี้ เช่น การปฏิเสธ (Denial) ที่ช่วยให้เรายุ่งอยู่กับความรู้สึกชั่วคราวโดยไม่ต้องเผชิญกับความจริงในทันที การหลอกตัวเองในแง่นี้จึงเป็นการหนีปัญหาชั่วคราว แต่ก็เป็นเพียงก้าวแรกที่ช่วยให้จิตใจเตรียมพร้อมสำหรับการยอมรับความจริงในเวลาต่อมา นอกจากนี้ ความหวังที่ไม่ยอมแพ้เป็นพลังสำคัญที่ช่วยผลักดันให้คนเราเดินหน้าต่อในสถานการณ์ที่ท้าทาย แม้บางครั้งความหวังนั้นอาจดูเหมือนเป็นอุดมคติ แต่ก็ทำให้เรามีแรงใจและกำลังใจในการเปลี่ยนแปลงตัวเองให้ดีขึ้นตามเป้าหมายที่วางไว้ อย่างไรก็ตาม ความกลัวที่จะเปลี่ยนแปลงยังเป็นหนึ่งในสาเหตุหลักที่ทำให้หลายคนเลือกหลอกตัวเอง เพราะการเปลี่ยนแปลงมาพร้อมกับความไม่แน่นอนและความไม่สบายใจที่ต้องเผชิญ การเข้าใจความกลัวนี้เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นที่ดีที่จะช่วยให้เราค่อย ๆ รับมือและก้าวออกจาก Comfort Zone ได้อย่างมั่นใจ สุดท้าย การรักษาภาพลักษณ์ในใจถือเป็นกลไกหนึ่งที่ช่วยปกป้องความนับถือตัวเอง แต่ก็อาจลวงให้เราต้องหันหลังให้กับความจริง การตระหนักถึงข้อจำกัดนี้จะช่วยให้เรามีทัศนคติที่เปิดกว้างและยอมรับความผิดพลาดได้ง่ายขึ้น การรู้จักยอมรับความจริง แม้จะเจ็บปวดในช่วงแรก แต่เป็นบทเรียนสำคัญในการเติบโตทั้งทางอารมณ์และสติปัญญา พร้อมช่วยให้เราแก้ไขปัญหาได้ตรงจุดและมีคุณภาพชีวิตที่ดีขึ้น การฝึกฝนการเผชิญหน้ากับความจริงอย่างมีสติ และการเปิดใจรับฟังคำแนะนำจากผู้เชี่ยวชาญหรือคนที่ไว้ใจได้ ก็เป็นแนวทางที่ช่วยให้ลดพฤติกรรมหลอกตัวเองและก้าวสู่การเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ดีในระยะยาว

If someone’s name shows up again and again in the Epstein files and you still defend them, call it what it is—willful acceptance. This goes beyond ignorance. It’s choosing power over truth, loyalty over justice, and silence over victims. At some point, accountability isn’t optional—it’s necessary.
