i've known of the concept of psychological projection for roughly a decade now & almost daily i find myself feeling thankful i know about it. i find recognizing it in others (& myself) a lot of fun & i find i'm constantly given the opportunity.
it helps me out in my life by helping me to take what feel i need (what i feel was meant for me) & to discard the rest.
i'm curious to see every1's views on it bc i learned today that apparently people that are new to it will try to force-fit its operation on others, in an attempt to make sense of what they don't understand...do u agree with this?
how do u define projecting? how long have u known about it? when you discovered it did it change you? what are your opinions on it? how often do you find yourself stopping & thinking, "am i projecting here?" how often do u find yourself admitting to yourself that something u've communicated may have been mostly a projection?
here's my current opinion on it:
i think the concept is mind-blowing; it's like the subconsciousness gets to become conscious & interact with us every now & then.
since projections are typically done unconsciously i now find it's best to not point out to some1 that they be projecting bc typically all this is doing is asking for denial & an argument & god knows what else. people are likely often unaware they're projecting for a good reason. & people are likely aware when some1's projecting for a good reason. the reason being peace of mind.
so i've decided i'll choose to only see the beautiful (& often hilarious) projections & move on rather than point them out. from now on, when i see some1 that i think's projecting i plan to laugh & then wish them love, light, peace, joy, and then bid them well & not engage in making them aware of something that they're perhaps not meant to be made aware of.
