Denial

Denial is a defense mechanism used by someone that is usually applied in situations that might prove the person wrong. It is mainly the assertion that a clarification is false, even though the claim is true.

Denial is usually unjustified- especially in situations that would cause a person's ego to deflate.

It is the opposite of admitting a flaw and it is mainly a cowardice tactic.
