Projection


projection (psychological)

1) an unconscious self-defence mechanism characterised by a person unconsciously attributing their own issues onto someone or something else as a form of delusion and denial.

2) a way to blame others for your own negative thoughts by repressing them and then attributing them to someone else. due to the sorrowful nature of delusion and denial it is very difficult for the target to be able to clarify the reality of the situation.

3) a way to transfer guilt for your own thoughts, emotions and actions onto another as a way of not admitting your guilt to yourself.
projection (psychological)

1) believing that someone else does not like you when it is indeed you that does not like them. by projecting this onto another you ascribe the negativity of the thoughts/feelings onto them so your ego does not have to admit the deficiency of your own thought processes.

2) a person in a relationship meets someone else out of spite for their partner and then forms an attachment to the person they have met; they then accuse their partner of infidelity (or at least considering the idea) so that they do not have to admit to themselves or anyone else that they have already cheated in their own mind.

3) repeatedly attacking someone with the ideas that they are: cold, arrogant, selfish, anti-social and negative as a way of not admitting to yourself that these appear to be some of your most dominant traits.

4) telling someone who is clearly in love with you that they are “unworthy of your love”. when in reality you have doubts within yourself that you are worthy of any love and due to this will attack and destroy any true love that exists towards and/or within you.
