Being in denial can be a bad thing, especially if you are the victim. It can be painful too, the feeling is as if the world is against you and you are all aline. I have seen a life ruined right before my eyes due to denial.
This happens when you are with people you should not have trusted in the first place, they will betray you and possibly deny you too. Put your trust in people that are trustworthy.
I have been there myself, being the victim of a denial right in my face. It sure looks like a dream. Since then, I circled those I should trust and those I should not, now I have a smaller circle.
What helped me then was that I did not really take it on myself much, so it was easy to let go for me, but painful though.
As much as you do not want to be the victim of a denial, don't make others a victim too.
