About This Quote

To pretend is to pretend. It's an art that we all learn at a young age and we use it often throughout our lives as we try to avoid taking responsibility for our actions or mistakes. We say, "It wasn't me!" or "I didn't do it!" when we've done something wrong. We call this is pretending. Pretending is safer than believing because it keeps us from admitting our mistakes and giving ourselves the chance to change and grow.
