Is it lying to yourself to make you feel better or is it just genuinely not seeing it? Do they see it but just don’t admit it when confronted due to pride or something? So many people do this; I was wondering if this is normal and why? To me, it doesn’t seem beneficial because it keeps the person from growing, but nearly everyone I’ve met does this to some extent. And they are almost always adults. For example, my aunt swears she does everything she possibly can for those she can help, but a few days ago a family friend had her house foreclosed on and needed a place to stay. My aunt has 3 spare bedrooms and told her no because she didn’t want the stress of having someone else in her house while she was already stressed with going to school. Another example: a guy I know is 24 and lives with his mom; works from home. He talks like he stays there because he can’t afford his own place right now and he has so much to pay for yet he’s single, routinely buys things like body kits for his car and bb guns and he makes 5$ more than me and I lived comfortabley enough in my apartment and it wasn’t exactly the cheapest place around. My mom does the same thing in regards to money and she justifies talking down to other people like there’s not a thing wrong with it.. These types of things. Thanks for any input
