For the past three months, ignacio has been waking up four or five times during the night. when he has to present an idea at work, his palms sweat and his heart races. ignacio’s wife suggests that he go see a doctor, because it sounds like has anxiety. ignacio says it’s just a stressful time at work. what is ignacio experiencing? a. stigma b. denial c. prejudice d. indecision e. accessibility

B. denial

Explanation:

Denial is a psychological defense mechanism of the body. This mechanism allows us to refuse a painful reality, covering the "symptoms," and thus to move on, an effect identical to a psychological "buffer." In other words, denial refers to the denial of the existence of an external threat or traumatic event; For example, a person with terminal illness may deny the imminence of death.

In the case of the above question, we can say that Ignacio has strong anxiety symptoms, but he denies that he has this disease, because it is probably painful for him. This way, he ends up finding justifications for his problems.

i think life is life. many could argue that life is ‘nice’ or ‘fun’ but in the end, it is immaterial and will end. nihilism is my philosophy. nothing matters in the end so why make an effort?
