This is an interesting article and it seems there are some individual(s) that fit this.
Psychological projection is a psychological defense mechanism; a person uses to project negative feelings and bad qualities on another person.
It is sometimes called, the “Freudian projection” as it was discovered in 1895 by the Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud, known as the father of psychoanalysis.
He noticed during sessions with patients; that they projected their negative feelings on those around them and accused others of them.
What causes psychological projection?
The person unconsciously practices projection to protect his ego from negative feelings and thoughts.
It is classified as a type of self-defense; projecting bad behavior and faults protects you from acknowledging their presence in your personality.
This projection gives a person a sense of relief when they discover the faults of others rather than their own.
Who uses psychological projection?
A person who believes he knows himself well but actually doesn’t.
As well as those who suffer low self-esteem, and cast a feeling of inferiority on others.
But the exact opposite happens with people who accept their weaknesses and failures and who can accept their own flaws, advantages, and weaknesses.
Projection is unconsciously employed by the ego and involves the process of attributing unwanted emotions you don’t like onto someone else rather than admitting that it exists within yourself.
Neurotic projection
It is one of the most common types of self-defense by projecting negative feelings on others.
It includes blame-shifting and falsely accusing others of wrongdoing.
Projection is a commonly adopted mechanism that distorts reality from how it is. It externalizes a person’s negative qualities or traits on outside forces, which do not necessarily have to be another person. Blame could be directed toward the environment, government, society, or even inanimate objects. For instance, a teenager thinks that his car is embarrassing and projects by believing it is why women will not date him.
It operates on personal and international levels and has been warned against for thousands of years, with Jesus remarking, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your eye?” (Matthew 7:3 NIB)
I personally don’t want to bring in religion into the discussion but it was an example.
The meaning of this verse is fairly clear: Hypocrites (one’s already mentioned and have written reviews, plus there are examples) who attack others for their small flaws while ignoring their own massive ones, whilst judging others but do not evaluate themselves.
I cited examples already. Yet it has not been addressed nor answered by the same people who have made said remarks or statements. It has only been replied with two words, phrases and or sentences (specifically full or grammatical errors with no analysis: i.e. “sex offenders” and “ Are you pervert sex offenders still on here! Your next Dr Pork tier 3”
And more comments filled with non sequiturs.
But let’s what comments come in.
