Discussion Question: Is a problem still a problem if you don't think it's a problem?

Not for me atleast but overall yes, it most definitely still could be a problem.

Yea it is and harder to deal with and overcome, our minds have a way of keeping us from the truth,to overcome the first step is awareness, some people never get to that level, so they create ways to go through life, can very difficult, I am living proof

then this will be a new problem. the new problem will be to set you thinking, questioning if its a problem or not a problem.

so in the end its still a problem, but a problem of a different sort!

It all depends on what we think/belive. If we think it is a problem then we will make it very hard on ourselves. But if we tricked ourselves in thinking that it is not a big deal then selving it will be easy.

Problems, that are perceived, are still problems. Problems, that are not perceived, may still be problems; opting to disbelieve the proportional significance of a problem does not inherently cause the problem to cease to exist. Problems 'weigh', or matter, different amounts. You can change the weight of a problem by perceiving it differently. However, doing so is only mitigating the load which you are carrying at the moment. Shifting the weight around is only a short-term solution. Problems will always, eventually, need direct solutions.

If it is hurtful to yours or others well beings, it's a problem.

It depends on the problem. If it is one like extreme poverty or abuse, yes, but if it's something like a little overweight, no. Depends on how it really affects you, the other people and the environment.

Yes ....it is still a problem no matter how might you try to see the light...if you don't fix it...it still remais

Even if you ignore the problem , it's still there. You can deny it all you want, it doesn't make it any less of a problem. But you can't do anything about anything unless you recognize that it is there. First to solve the problem, you have to acknowledge that one exists.

Hell, even ignoring a problem isn't so clear-cut as thinking it's there or it's not. You can think you're perfectly fine; you can think it'll get better if you act like you're fine; you can think that you just need to get help and surround yourself with different people; you can shuffle your stance so many times that you're scared to even begin thinking of it, and how disconnected you may very well be from the real situation.

There's no shortage of ways to not know what's hurting you (for all the burden of proof that's on you)
