What makes one to conceal and live in denial? What could make one ignore their issues and feel the world is wrong in pointing fingers at their situation/state? Its always a mystery to me. When I know that they are trying hard to mask their true self and putting up a show, when I just know that they are lying, how can I make them realise that I just know...that there is no point in lying. I so want to help them liberate themselves from the shell that they have built around them,but they don't want to,because they deny being in a shell. It gets frustrating sometimes because I can't help.But being in denial and putting on a mask helps them be a different person and if thats what gives them happiness, I guess I should just let them be.
