The Psychology of Projection

Jun 12, 2022
31:49

Projection is a psychological fact that can be observed everywhere in  the everyday life of human beings. It is an unconscious mechanism where  one ascribes one’s own motivations, thoughts, feelings, and desires that  are unacceptable to oneself, while attributing them to others. It is a  misalignment of the inner and outer world, because what one is inwardly,  one will see outwardly.  

To really know who we are, we must concern ourselves with correcting  such misjudgements. Many people will cling to them with every fibre of  their being, because if one accepts correction, one may fall into a  depression.  

When we find certain unacceptable feelings, thoughts or behaviours in  ourselves that we refuse to acknowledge, and see someone with that  specific trait, we will feel resentment, hatred and anger towards them.  Projection occurs not because of what other people say to you, but  rather because of what you yourself think about those people.
