Denial is the first stage of grief. It a list of how people deal with life changing things.
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
There might be two more but I can't find them.

That statement is used when you have a serious problem going on. For example, a friend of yours died, You're doing badly in school, a boyfriend/girlfriend breaks up with you. Those are all situations that would probably get you down in the dumps.
Have you ever had a loved one die? Someone/thing that you care deeply about? Whether it be a person or pet, your first reaction would probably be, "This isn't real, I must be dreaming." Well, that's what denial is, and it always happens first in situations like that, only because the human mind doesn't know what else to do. It's too much for you to handle, so you start thinking that what happened wasn't real.
But don't worry, it's normal, and it gets better. The other 2 steps are the most important ones"

denial means your saying you didn't do something.
have you ever seen Finding Nemo? when they're talking to the Fish Are Friends Not Food sharks, they say that marlyn is in denial, because he said he's never weaten a fish. he's going to deny till he realizes that everybody knows he's lying. if you've taken drugs or something, and your parents ask if you've been taking them, you say no. you're denying you ever took drugs. it's the first step. either you keep denying, or you teel and you go into treatment... it's kind of hard to explain... if you need more help though, just IM me or email me or something....

queenbee answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:28 am:
You may want to elaborate on this question (i.e how did you hear it used).

One suggestion is that when someone is addicted to something (alcohol, drugs) the first reaction when confronted is to deny that they have a problem hence the first stage is denial, etc...

**Beanie** answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:24 am:
If you are talkin about liking someone then that can mean it is the first stage into realizing you liek someone. There are stages you go through wiht everything and denial is usually one of them. When you like someone a lot of times you wont want to admit it adn you will deny it ((hence the denial)).

Hope that Helps and if you need anyhtign else jsut let me know!
