#self-contradiction

• Self-retraction — The act of self-contradicting and its result; an official, voluntary, and autonomous retraction of a statement, declaration, or position previously expressed by the same person or institution. This structural act restores the factual or legal truth in the public space, canceling the validity of an erroneous communiqué issued in the past.
• To self-deny — To deny oneself; to contest, reject, or invalidate one's own existence, value, identity, or one's own statements and principles. In a philosophical sense, it describes the dialectical action through which a concept or a subject transforms or evolves by contradicting its own initial state, while in psychology it reflects a defense mechanism or a deep tendency to reject one's own needs and impulses.
