Some people spend their whole existence either ignoring or denying the "facts of life" (= something unavoidable that must be dealt with). Is this a positive or a negative attitude? Whatever it is, it is certainly a defense mechanism. If something unpleasant happens that you don't like and don't want to face, you may choose to ignore it. In case the situation is set, unchangeable - if you are not responsible - ignoring it can be an acceptable, even wise, decision. Nevertheless, if this is not so, ignoring it becomes a sign of cowardice. When, on the other hand, you are forced to face the unpleasant situation and deny it or try to find excuses to get away from it, you are simply, desperately avoiding the evidence. Attempting to prove the opposite of what "is", the only thing it proves is your stubbornness.
