Why do people prefer to lie to themselves than face the truth?

Asked by Gifted_With_Languages (1143points) January 22nd, 2013

Speaking for myself, I think this is because lying simply does not hurt as much as the truth does. Those who lie to themselves are avoiding the pain of the truth because they wish to take the easy way out of life, even if that means hurting someone else in the process.

Do you share this way of seeing things?

Thanking you in advance for your attention.
