Ok let me add details.
It's like somebody would rather not look at the truth because they would have to change themselves. Rather they would like to go on as they are now...

Denial. I don't think that there is a special term for it. It is usually a symptom of a disorder, not a disorder itself.

I like the reason as to "why" they do this....and, it's by "choice", so, on purpose...stems from fear of accepting "truth" (even though they know it's true..) real deep issue...self infliction...or(punishment) others might say.."cut their nose off to spite their face" hummm......i'll leave it at that...

Deluding themselves or delusion.
Or ignorance by choice.
Burying ones head in the sand...
