I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

I now constantly test myself to see if I'm overlooking the truth. Refusal to admit reality or refusal to acknowledge an unpleasant truth can ultimately hold you back.

Often times, for me, it's not even a refusal. Certain situations or emotions I sort of just "I'll deal with that later" and then never do. I mean to, eventually, but just procrastinate it until it's a legitimate delusion
