Talk:self-denial

RFV discussion: August–September 2021
Rfv-sense- A refusal to recognize unpleasant realities. This corresponds to "denial" as in the expression "to be in denial" but not (to my knowledge) to "self-denial". If this sense is to be retained, some citations illustrating it should be added. Aabull2016 (talk) 05:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I did find a couple of hits for "is in self-denial about", and there probably are enough citables of this type for the sense to technically scrape through RFV -- question is, is it a valid use or just an error for "in denial". Mihia (talk) 08:55, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Possibly the entry could be more broad, for example here, in a more religious and possibly sexual sense. DTLHS (talk) 19:55, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Would that help the present RFV though? Mihia (talk) 22:09, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
