Understanding the Pitfalls of Projection in Early Dating Stages

In the podcast episode, the speaker delves into the topic of how projection can negatively impact the early stages of dating. When individuals meet someone they like, they often project idealized qualities onto the other person, creating a skewed perception of who they are.
