It's all in your head

Answer:

PSYCHE

Hint:

Think of the Greek word for the mind or soul, often personified in mythology as a beautiful mortal loved by Eros.

Explanation:

The clue "It's all in your head" plays on the double meaning of "psyche." Literally, it refers to the mind or mental processes, but it’s also a casual way to say "I’m just kidding" after tricking someone—like when you say "Psyche!" after fooling them. The answer "PSYCHE" fits both interpretations, making it a clever wordplay solution.
