Do you believe projection is real?

[Anonymous]

For example

The people who go around insulting the physical appearance of others feel insecure about their own appearance.

A person who doesn’t feel like a winner will go around calling other people losers.

A person who doesn’t feel smart goes around calling other people dumb.

I think you can insult people and be fine in all those areas and you can also insult people and not be fine in all those areas. Insults aren't dependent on your self-esteem. They are dependent on your interaction with the other person.

It's 100% real, not a question of "do you believe it". It's real whether you believe it or not.

Yes, just look at Trump

[slatyb]

It is absolutely real. I married a narcissist who projected her bad behavior onto others constantly. We see it in Trump multiple times a day. They do this because the thought of self-criticism is intensely painful. In her mind, my wife did no wrong.

Yes, in the next town somebody set up a projector next to the water tower.

Most of the time yes.
Not always.
Don’t let ignorants tell you otherwise.

It's real, but not the way you're referencing
It's a more pragmatic approach
Negative attracts negative

[msc545]

Yes, it's completely real. It doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not.

Narcissists project the hardest, I’ve seen it
