Quote: Negate

When you negate the negative with the positive, you are using a coping mechanism, which often means that you are keeping yourself in a detrimental situation unnecessarily and failing to change things that you should change because you're busy coping with them instead. You have succumbed to false powerlessness albeit disguised with a positive facade.
