Almost anyone can use defence mechanism called denial
It is shocking how prevalent this psychotic state of mind is. How can someone actually see something or someone in front of themselves but deny that this is what they see. How did good and bad change sides? How come supposedly healthy people do this if its so maddening to their targets? Why doesn't conscience override this?

because this is how our brains work by default...
@LostTurtle22 can you explain what you mean? I doubt everyone is the same and that we all live in our little lala land denying the obivous.
I guess past experiences play a huge role in this. If you might have heard of the shepherd's story you would know. Here the villagers is the person who isn't sure abt what they see while the shepherd is what they see. I would be lying if i said i m not going through the same denial state of mind or probably a contradictory state of mind i would prefer saying.. ever since lockdown has hit.. A lot of people a lot of times,put me through 3-4 false situations.. ever since it's far too difficult for me to believe em or anything they say everything they would tell me or do in front of me i would always let my mind have two perspectives of it. Basically it deprives them of the power to manipulate me while at the same it takes away my ability to understand them/their situations. But i guess we know who's to blame? moreover this contradictory method is applied only on those who have done the false situation thing once or been a part of it or are suspected by me to be a part of it.. effectively everyone i Know all my frnds, family, etc. even few unknown long distance frnds who came from nowhere.. So yeah.. probably i contradict them and their deeds all but soon when i move to a new city i will disable all my socials cut off every single connection that brings a drop of negativity and the new people which i meet over there i won't doubt them.. not until any of them ends up being a mutual between these shepherd(s) and me!
For anyone, it's frustrating to know that no matter what you do you can't make a person who denies everything around them seem true, but if that "anyone" played slightest of the roles in making this person the way he/she is.. I think it's their time for self reflection and repentance..coz this person's self defence system would no more let them treat such people as true people unless they do what they never will so not worth talking abt it..
but trust me it's a LOSS-LOSS situation.. both lose.. noone wins.. but the fact that both lose is actually the moral win of the one who is outnumbered.. and is in a constant state of contradictory thoughts on the same thing.. And such contradictory thoughts would never let anyone frame a black and white opinion on good or bad.. It gives flexibility & freedom to the thinker do whatever satisfies their soul at that moment of decision making, knowing right or wrong,Don't exist it's all about perspectives.
I don't know how right it is..
I hope the answer wasn't too long.
All the best💕
