What is Denial?
'''Denial''' is a word used in [[psychology]] on [[defense mechanism]]. It means that someone denies that something has happened or is happening although he really knows it is true. Usually this happens because admitting it would cause a lot of pain. Denial is usually the first state of coping with [[loss]]. For example, if someone close to a person [[death|dies]], the survivor's first feeling might be denial, or refusal to accept the fact that the person is really dead. Denial, is also when you think that a team (like in football) will win a football match before its even started and refuse to accept the fact thet they could lose Denial, is also when you refuse to accept the fact that someone else did something (like change something) when you 'think you know' it was a different person [[Category:Psychology]]
