Answer:

Rationalization.

Explanation:

Rationalization is explained here as an ego defense mechanism that people use to make excuses for situations or events in their lives that they do not like. This is seen here as Bruce's case because he is vehemently trying to turn the irrational in his present situation to rational. People use it often when they are angry, depressed, scared or hurt.

The mechanism usually works negatively to make the person feel worse about the situation or event rather than better. Rationalization is a type of cognitive distortion.

In cases like this when people rationalize, they turn irrational things into rational.

What were the responsibility of peasants in the feudal system
Sergio [31]
Peasants grew the crops and tended the livestock. They usually rented land from lords of manors. They pay their rent to these lords in the form of either livestock or harvest. They made money by selling the surplus they produce, so that they can buy goods that they need. Eventually, if they make enough surplus and sell them, they can pay off the Lord with cash, instead of just livestock and harvest, which is more convenient both for the lord and the peasant. 

Sometimes, poorer peasants who cannot afford to rent land work for wealthier peasants, so that they can help they can help the wealthier peasants pay the lord, make money and also make money themselves without paying a lord.

Answer: Using tasking video games to boast creativity

Explanation:

I have realized that one of the ways to boast creativity and being able to think better is by playing tasking video games.

I see people adapting this method in the future, although some person's are already of it now

He then distances himselve because to him this is an act of cruelty. This is how one acts towards a dissociative group (a group that believes , values and act against what they value and believe)
