The Self Deceiver

The self deceiver is somebody who lies, not to others, but actually lies to oneself. Tricke: Let's say that you are madly in love with a woman and she starts doing strange things like staying late at the office many nights a week. Coan: All the signs are there; despite the evidence, you continue to believe her faithful. What self deception really is is that you have two contradictory beliefs,. You hold them at the same time, and you allow one of them into consciousness.
