If you deny that you are having a bad day, it very much DOES make it less true. It's not what life throws at us that makes us who and what we are; it's HOW WE DEAL WITH IT that defines us as human beings. Your attitude is the most powerful weapon in your arsenal in terms of controlling how you deal with what comes at you. Here's an example: Two people get into a car accident on the way to work. Are they both having a bad day now? Yes. But how bad of a day are they having? One driver walks away gritting his teeth and cursing about being without his ride for a couple of weeks and having to get a rental and how much this is going to cost him, but the other is thankful that she wasn't hurt (nor was the other driver), her car can be repaired or replaced, and she can get a rental to drive while her car is being fixed. See the difference? A "bad day" is as bad as you make it.

If you deny you are having a bad day would seem that you are telling yourself that you're having a good day. If so, then you psyche the mind to having a good day - and you will have a good or a great day. You can have whatever day you want if you choose to do so. The choice is yours but remember when interacting with others who make the choice of having a bad day that this has nothing to do with the choice you made to have a good day. To be sucked into their bad day is also your choice.
What do you choose?

If, while you're having a bad day, you deny it and tell yourself that thing are fine, then according to some psychologists, it will be better. Does not work for me simply because I hate denying my feelings. But, seriously, a lot of the cognitive-behavioral psychologists say, brush it off, keep a smile on your face, and you'll feel better...

It depends. If you don't admit that you are having a bad day to yourself, and keep a good attitude, your bad day will go away. If you don't admit it to someone else after already admitting it to yourself, then you are just keeping things bottled up and making things worse.

no i think it actually makes it worse.
its like you go home and the day has been horrible. and you dont tell anyone but they are all around you and they are driving you nuts and you keep it all inside but you cant stop thinking about everything that had gone on all day.
if you are honest with having a bad day i think it makes it better.
like calling a friend and tell everything that went on and admitting to everything than it gets it off your chest and you have something else to think about.

No, but dwelling on how bad it is will only make you feel worse. If you try your best to find some bright spots in the day, you'll feel better in spite of yourself!

No, but I always try and find the humor init. Makes me feel better, and laughing is good for the soul.

It depends on your attitude toward it. Instead of a 'bad' day, could it just be an 'off' day? I donno. I have some horrid days so I suppose I shouldn't be answering this question.
