Learn English – a word for somebody who lies to themselves

pejorative-languagesingle-word-requestsword-choice

I feel like the fact that people lie to themselves about things can tell you a lot about that person but I just can't put my finger on a single word that I'd use to describe them. In fact, not just describe them, but truly convey that they lie to themselves.

Example of a person who lies to themself: "I will do all my work
tomorrow, I swear."

Self-deluding.

A delusion is a belief or idea that is not true. To delude yourself is to convince yourself to believe an idea that is not true.
