The Psychology of Projection

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. 👑 Become a Patron Access exclusive material and deeper studies https://www.patreon.com/eternalised ⭐ Or become a YouTube Member https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join — Support the work ☕ Buy a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 💸 PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 👕 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com — For deeper study 📜 Full transcript: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/06/09/psychological-projection/ 📚 Personal library: https://eternalisedofficial.com/library 💡 eBooks: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised/shop 🎨 Artwork archive: https://eternalisedofficial.com/patron-benefits Stay connected 📨 Newsletter: https://eternalisedofficial.com/subscribe ✍️ Substack: https://substack.com/@eternalised — Elsewhere 🐦 X: https://x.com/eternalised1 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eternalised_official 🎧 Podcast: https://anchor.fm/eternalised 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/eternalised ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Inner Gold: Understanding Psychological Projection https://amzn.to/3QczvFR ▶ Projection and Re-Collection in Jungian Psychology: Reflections of the Soul https://amzn.to/3QoWPk3 ▶ Man and His Symbols https://amzn.to/3xAC39D 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
