I have been a mirror for people and it was confusing before but when I actually realized it, it became even more confusing as to why people choose to see these things in me when all I want is to see the best in them

Know that when dealing with someone like this, it will be more of a parent/child relationship and you will almost never have any of your emotional needs met. You'll be constantly fielding their projections and validating their emotions.

The prayer at the end was SO VITAL and brought this entire thing together so gracefully …. Thank

Thank you for this advice. I had a recent situation where I was blamed for saying some horrible things years ago that I didn't remember saying nor did these alleged statements align with my thoughts or beliefs. I started to think I was going crazy and maybe I am the horrible person I was being told I am. I couldn't understand how I didn't remember saying such horrible things. And why was this all being brought up years later? At the time I defended myself because I felt I should stand up for myself. Now I realize it was projecting. I have a lot of healing to do.

This was a perfect message for me on today❤

On topic: This is timely! I've been dealing with being blamed for just about every issue in my marriage. I was praying yesterday and the word "Projection" came to me. To gain full understanding of the word, I looked it up and it was exactly what I've been dealing with (for the last 6 years). Now that I know this, I want to so bad say something gently to my hubby but guess what, it's not time because I can't quite find the words to gently restore my hubby so I'm waiting on the right timing.

Off topic: Your hair is gorgeous!!

Overall: I'm humbly grateful that I stumbled to this video.

Blessings to you!

My coworker constantly does this to me. I just sit back and observe her act completely how she projects onto me. Its draining.

You are wonderful. Thank you. I am not religious, but this is very well articulated.

[ZFabia]

I can't do this, I'm all out of compassion, that's what this has done to me

It seems to me that narcissism and projection goes hand in hand...

[spirals]

Amazing; there's even some projection going on in these comments.

[Stigggs]

Christian or religious or not, this a very good explanation and advice for all. Thank you
