One half of him believes that Darry does not love him, but the other half knows that Darry loves him and cares for him. It is just that Ponyboy for whatever reason does not want to believe it. He most likely talked himself into believing that lie.

What does Ponyboy mean when he says i lie to myself all the time do you ever lie to yourself?

*contains spoilers* When Ponyboy says he lies to himself all the time, he means that, although he knows the truth, he tells himself differently. If he tells himself what he wants to believe, he will begin to believe it more and it subconsciously brings him comfort. Ponyboy uses this reference when saying he doesn't care about Darry and the way Darry treats him. Although it's only implied, Ponyboy also lies to himself after Johnny dies. Ponyboy convinces himself that he's the one who killed Bob and that Johnny isn't dead. It provides some comfort for Ponyboy to just put all the traumatic events he's experienced out of his mind.
