"Resisting Reality"

"Resisting Reality" refers to the psychological tendency to deny, avoid, or reject situations or facts that are true but uncomfortable, challenging our instincts or beliefs. This resistance can stem from fear, pride, or uncertainty, making it hard to accept situations as they are. While it may temporarily reduce discomfort, it often hinders growth, problem-solving, and emotional well-being. Recognizing and confronting reality with openness allows for better adaptation and decision-making, whereas resistance can lead to ongoing frustration and stagnation.
