projecting

[isis]

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.

I had to go to Google to learn about this, and the first thing they listed was Wikipedia. It brought up memories of my earlier life, when I did a lot of projection, which I probably still do.

As rie already posted, other characters in our dreams are different aspects of ourselves. So if one of them is a real person in our life, we can list that person's strengths and weaknesses and decide which of those need attending to in ourselves.

In our "waking" life, other selves also display our own aspects for us to examine. It they really do have some "weakness" that we also have, then it isn't projection, it's recognition. Whatever.

I agree that one should just about never tell a person what is wrong with them. If you really want to offer guidance, you can go with "some experts say that what we see in others is within ourselves as well. I don't know if that's true in your case, but you can go inside and check it out."

Thanks for the post, truesim.

"it's best to not point out to some1 that they be projecting"
