The Pretender
By now you should know that I am fond of psychological coping mechanisms.
So, today, let's talk about Denial.
Denial has cousins called repression and rationalising. But he is the fiercest of the crowd.
Far more powerful and determined to leave no trace of what he is trying to hide.
He looks you in the eye saying:
"Can you pretend I'm amazing? I can pretend I'm amazing."
and you play along every time. You forget that you are pretending.
He becomes amazing.
Denial is a lot like nostalgia. He has the power to make all the bad things, the faults, the wrongs; fade away.
And all becomes illuminated in the light of the past.
All that is left are crumbles of truth.
Scattered all over the floor.
You've got no chance to put them back together correctly.
You've got no choice but to trust him.
- So, have I found your secret weak spot, baby?
