Shadow Self and Projection
People who vehemently condemn certain behaviors or traits may actually be projecting their own hidden desires or behaviors onto those they criticize. Carl Jung's concept of the shadow self suggests that individuals may develop a strict black-and-white view of the world to avoid confronting aspects of themselves that they find unacceptable. This can lead to a sense of certainty in labeling others as bad or wrong while hiding their own inner conflicts or fears.
