This gave me a feeling of relief. Some one projected onto me and unfortunately I took in all the negative energy, got defensive, and reacted withy own projection. I'm steeling myself against this because I have to see them again soon and I have my guard up for further projections.

The problem with projection is that it's not a permanent solution. Those feelings you see and hate in others, will creep back up into you eventually.

Wow.. your obviously a very young woman and with such knowledge. Good for you!

Projection is an ineffective coping mechanism. It's toxic but remember most people that do it aren't that self aware. Great advice here to look at this as the person crying for help. What may sound like an attack on you? It's basically them saying I'm feeling really terrible right now and I don't know what to do. And once you realize that, at least I found that it helps to depersonalize what's being said. You can try to help folks like this if you were carrying and compassionate in your response, but sometimes they're so wound up that you just need to remove yourself from the situation until emotions settle down and then perhaps you might be able to help them be a little more self-aware.

Gorgeous hair, I needed to hear this.
Thank you.
Learning so much about myself and healthy communication

[Xochilll]

Yes, little self awareness.
You can tell by how they move/ actions. They tell on themselves.

Thank you so much for this video. I was in a situation recently where it seemed out of nowhere and was like an interrogation of my character that I had never experienced before. In the heat of the moment I totally reacted out of hurt ego, and defense. Which I hated. After some time I realized it probably was projection (confirmed by my research) and the next step is figuring out how to handle it moving forward. This video has been extremely helpful! Hopefully I can implement the advice!

I'm going to be honest this is a very simple well articulated explanation, thank you for sharing.

Keep up the good work. Your channel is gonna be getting more views in time. Way to go. Projection and cluster b’s suck.

I have had friends who I'd describe as being rather hypocritical in arguments and now I realize it was projection all along. They were describing themselves. I'm so tired of this sh*t that I don't even have the energy to be angry and "defend" myself from their accusations. The next time their nonsense happens, "Girl, bye!" I'm no longer willing to tolerate being someone's emotional punching bag.

Thank you this was helpful. Currently dealing with projection coming from a co-worker who reported her own harassment to HR and said it was all me. The ridiculous thing is she is a mental health counselor. I'm the Household Coordinator. Sucks when you feel you have to leave your job though because of a narcisisistic counselor.

Here’s a TIP about Projection:

EVERYONE PROJECTS.
(not just people who struggle with poor self-awareness) 😉

Some may THINK they don’t project onto others… oh, but I beg to differ! The problem lies in our INABILITY TO SEE IT. This goes for everyone on this planet. When a person is projecting, anything onto another, regardless of their level of self-awareness, they are unable to see the moment when they are doing it. That’s all you need to know. It’s not just for those with a lack of self-awareness or poor self-esteem, or insecurity issues.

You're a brave woman! Thanks for the info. Keep doing what you're doing.

This video spoke to me. I had a drunk person lose it on me Ive been sober for 4 years with a couple slips. I wasnt a great person when I was drinking so I've been trying to rectify that. It is frustrating when someone is poisoning your well.
I'm fixing my friend's car right now and he is her friend and a roommate I'm going to back away from these people after I finish working on the car.
Im laid off for the next ouple months it's spring and I have no kids... I'm going on a. Adventure

My mum projects on to me The Precise Failing that disguises her shortcomings. She is perfect in her view, so it could not possibly be that she lacks empathy, NO, I AM SENSITIVE it couldn't be that she lacks the patience to listen, NO, IT'S THAT IM DEMANDING, it couldn't possibly be that she is conflict averse and shuts me down when I try to talk about an issue, NO, I DISRESPECTFUL TRYING TO HAVE MY OWN PERSPECTIVE, if I use logic, facts, screenshot et cetera to defend my interpretation, I AM AGGRESSIVE. it's exhausting. I have put all of this to my brother, and on one level, cognitively, he understands but emotionally he wants me to just accept the regime, buckle under. He even said to be once "do the facts matter?". He just wants the prevailing narrative that mum is perfect and I'm sensitive, aggressive, detached from reality to be allowed to prevail, unchallenged.

Great video and thank you so much for the helpful tips! Subscribed and looking forward to following your journey

[Lungiswa.]

Thank you so much for the information provided. Recently I have been noticing people projection their negative and positive emotions. I wanted to learn more about it and the facts you pointed out make so much sense.💞💞

[DangerouslyCaffeinated]

This video came in so clutch recently. I used to struggle with this at a younger age too. This gave me perspective because, I still struggle with not taking everything so personally. Normally I’d question myself, but Knowing yourself is half the battle. You da best🤙🏻

[sssttt]

It's ok to walk away if narcissist isn't your boss and he isn't projecting... But if he is boss it becomes difficult.. because "you are damned if you say anything, damned if you don't"

[sincere]

Accusatory statement. "You are doing this" "you you you". Indirects statement.

[David..]

The thing is people throw out the word projection around every corner like they don't understand the word but just use it to divert the conversation off topic
