Are there times when you don't even want to admit certain things even to yourself?

Asked by ZEPHYRA (21750points) June 1st, 2014

Some thoughts, feelings or ideas that you can’t even admit to yourself let alone utter them out loud? Do you think of things that would raise a few eyebrows around you were you to say them in people’s company?
Briefly, not going into detail and disclosing what you don’t want to share, do they have to do with death, life, family, other people etc?

Hmmm….thinking. Nope. Can’t tell you that one! But there is….no. Not that one either. Sorry. ;)

My sister gets very, very angry when I say that Mom was a little batty. She was, but my sister feels it’s wrong to say something like that because mom is dead. I don’t know what difference it makes. Same thing with my dad. He was aloof and hardly knew me at all as an adult.

I have no trouble admitting such things, since it’s such a simple matter to ignore them or mask them from others.

That I got what I asked for and I regret how my life turned out.

Yes. I’m having a problem with that right now actually.

I can think of 3 specific skeletons. I keep them in the closet for a reason.

Through life, yes, many times. That have to do with all of that.

The things I don’t want to admit to myself are the things that are 100% effective but take a great deal of physical work to accomplish.

Spoiler Alert: they do work. stupidly well.

Sometimes I don’t want to admit certain failures are due to my fault…

There are things I might not want to admit to myself, but, fortunately or unfortunately I do admit them to myself.

There is a disparity between your question, “you don’t even want to admit” and your details, “you can’t even admit to yourself.”

Still in all a GQ.

Yes, of course, I am human. It is common for people to not want to look at their faults. Maturity is the willingness to take a close hard look at one’s behavior every once in a while and do something about it.

(I am not nearly as mature as I wish to be…)
