Why do people project their situations onto people instead of moving on?

She called me a few minutes ago and I politely told her that she needs to remove that ring off her finger and move on. The guy told her several times he isn’t interested in her. Now she is projecting what’s happening to her onto the girl he did get married to. Now she telling me that she thinking about having a “voodoo spell” done to bring him back.

Oh man, that sounds mega cray cray! I feel for her cause rejection always stings, but doing voodoo is seriously not the move.

Some people just ain't ready to let go, I guess. Projecting all her raging feels onto his new wife is easier than facing the fact he don't want her. Pretty pathetic if you ask me!

My advice would be stay faaar away from that mess sis. No good can come from getting tangled in another person's weird denial. She needs to accept it and move on already before she does something she regrets.

You handled it well telling her the truth. Now just keep your distance - last thing you need is her dragging you into her revenge fantasy drama. Some folk gotta hit rock bottom before they're ready to rise up. Hopefully she wakes up soon!

They aren't introspective
