Denial is a pervasive problem with humanity in general, and for me in particular. Particularly the denial of emotion. In my case, the deeply ingrained reflex to deny the unpleasant, or, more accurately, to stoically endure it, in a sense forswearing the fear and grief that naturally arise from such leads to me sitting on my ass, wasting away the day to a nameless ennui.
I really can’t solve problems that I refuse to acknowledge. Bleh.
