You may say this but how do you know. Do you prefer denying or experiencing reality?

That is the problem. People as a whole do not wish to know themselves, have the conscious experience of oneself and prefer to imagine themselves. Under these circumstances ist is far more satisfying to deny. I admire the brave ones willing to have the conscious experience of themselves.
"Only the descent into the hell of self-knowledge can pave the way to godliness." Kant
It is hell which is why I agree, it is far easier to bask in denial.
