It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

Well talk about cheating yourself. I don’t need to say this twice it is DEFINITELY a bad idea to lie to yourself. I think lying to yourself is a form of escapism and if that’s what your intentions are then something is really wrong and the warning lights above your head should be flashing like crazy.

When you lie to yourself you are in actual fact trying to take yourself out of a situation which you put yourself in. I would say that this is a very bad idea. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions. People who lie to themselves can’t cope in or take control of the situation that they are in. By lying to yourself you only make the problem worse and makes a mountain out of a molehill.

After saying all this however I must admit that I have fallen prey to this myself. It’s hard to admit but I think everyone lies to themselves almost everyday of their lives. The smoker who says that one day they will quit but never makes any attempts to do so. The student who convinces themselves that the night before the exam is the best time to study because they do their best under pressure. We’ve all done it. I don’t think there is a way of escaping it actually.
