you twist yourself into knots to avoid the truth, you live in cognitive dissonance hell!
you say "the truth hurts". it can, oh yes! but hiding from the truth always hurts twice as much: pain from the truth and pain from avoiding it. and while hiding it hurts indefinitely, getting the truth out there only hurts once - and then you can move along with your life.
once the truth has come out, everything gets better!
