I don't think denial is the right word.
Trying to just live with the things that bothered her didn't work, she kept losing her cool with Marten. Setting boundaries for Sven regarding the people around her didn't work, he's a grown man, he doesn't have to listen to her. So now she tries withdrawing from/pushing away the people who are upsetting her. From Dora's perspective that's a rational enough progression and it isn't as if she pushed Faye away forever. The door is still open.
Oh and by the way, thanks for the breadsticks photo, breadstick hentai is going to replace tentacle hentai as the stuff of my nightmares.

So what would you suggest as an alternative (he asked un-sarcastically)? Like I said, I don't think she should be a doormat, but I also don't think she's necessarily made the healthiest choices in terms of how she's dealt with people... like I said, I'm coming up short by way of nomenclature, but it seems disingenuous of her to represent those hasty choices as her only option.
Sorry 'bout the breadstick hentai. Here, scour your mind with some soothing naan:

Every character I can think of has basically reacted in horror to Pintsize at one point or another. It would be great to see his reaction if someone actually took the bait. He might be left speechless.

Hasn't this already happened with Marten's mom in 1829? Granted, we don't see Pintsize's reaction to her reaction to get goatse'd.
valkygrrl:
Mmm yummy Naan.
I don't know, but not denial. She's not pretending nothing happened, she's not refusing to acknowledge she made a choice, she's not even refusing to deal with problems. She's actively deciding that there are things she should not have to deal with. Specifically, other people's shit.
You've never walked away rather than get dragged down?
Omega Entity:
With Dora, I think her continuingly pushing people who she feels undermine her authority is all tied into her control issues. Think about it. Sven seems to constantly cross the line where it comes to Dora and how she thinks he should behave. Faye crossed the line in regards to the employee-employer relationship, disrespecting the rules (and Dora) by her actions.
She feels out of control where it comes to them. However, by her actively pushing them away, it puts her in control of the situation in her mind, and forces -them- to come to -her- if they want to beg forgiveness from her.
Is it cold in here?:
Dora completely ignored Tai's feelings and didn't even seem to realize they existed.
