Defense mechanisms include regression, rationalization, sublimation, and repression. Due to her anxiety, Billi applied various defenses attitudes unconsciously. Unconsciously, Billi suppresses his discomfort in many ways, including having fun, thinking rationally, and carrying out useful social activities.
