Who here knows about projection in a psychological sense? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Okay, well, if you don’t, you can read all about it in this article. If you don’t want to click the link then I’ll break it down for you. Basically, projection is when you put your feelings on someone else and try to make it seem like they feel that way. It’s a defense mechanism. You’ve definitely seen it in TV shows before. Projection is not terribly uncommon, and I’m sure at some point, most people are guilty of doing it. For some people, it’s a subconscious thing that they don’t even realize they’re doing it. For others, it’s more habitual and something they do on the regular.
So why are we talking about projection today? Excellent question! It’s a long story, so fasten your seatbelts or turn back now.
