Psychological Projection Puns

That is, rather than being driven to (usually wrongly) accuse others of a behavior or attitude you disapprove of because you engage in it yourself and are unwilling to admit it, your (still often wrong) belief that others engage in such an attitude or behavior drives you to engage in them yourself (while still generally being unwilling to admit it).

It's something I've observed with paranoid types.

We all know that Cinder is notorious for accusing others of having the flaws she won't acknowledge in herself.

But looking back on Volumes 1 - 3 as well as the release of Roman's Holiday (I haven't read the book itself but I have watched Phoenix/Night's breakdown of it on Youtube), I realized that her psychological projection extends to how she chooses her allies as well.

Pretty much everyone she worked with shared something in their history or personality with Cinder. Whether Cinder is aware of this or if she just unconsciously gravitates towards people that are similar to herself is up for debate.

Emerald and Mercury are obvious. Emerald shares Cinder's past as a hungry orphan, and Mercury shares her history of horrific abuse before killing said abusers.

Adam shares Cinder's rage and extreme sense of entitlement.

Roman shares Cinder penchant for theatricality, constant need for ego-boosting, and tendency to cow before people who are more powerful.

Neo doesn't share in this trend in any obvious way but if you guys think differently feel free to point it out.

Whether she is conscious of this or not, I cannot say, but it isn't surprising when I think about it. Cinder is pathetically narcissistic and would need to be surrounded by people who validate her inflated sense of self-worth. Of course she would be pulled towards those that she shares similarities with, because those are the people that she would see as most competent. She would also find them easiest to manipulate because she only has to motivate them with the things that would motivate her.

Cinder's superiority/inferiority complex drives her to underlings she thinks are similar to herself both because they're the only ones she can see as competent, but also and bully to control them to feel a sense of control over herself.

And it's because they share so many flaws that she feels she can control them. All she has to do is what others have done to control her.

Emerald and Mercury were tempted were by a life of greater comfort and a place to belong, something Cinder herself has lacked and seeks for herself.

Adam seeks to feel powerful at every turn, which in my eyes, is Cinder's chief motivation.

And once again, Roman's need for attention is shared with Cinder who constantly tries to present herself as some beautiful, high-class mastermind. Much like how how Roman tries to present himself as some suave master criminal.

Let me know if you think I'm on to something or if I'm just

.... and she ended up being all those things she said her ex was

her ex from social media has been in a LTR for 3 years with children

why do the project?

at the end she said things like "i dont even know who you are"

Now that the dust has settled one can easily discern how right from the start Karen hate concealed a obvious hypocrisy:

1. White women have now become a socially acceptable scapegoat precisely because the woke racial totempole of privilege seems to place them underneath white men, but just above black men and other poc
2. As far as fishing for social media clout goes, white women were fair game. The people posting Karen videos would never post a sassy black chick shitting on a kmart employee. Bitchy white women received less sympathy than violent convicts.
3. The wokes themselves thrive on incidents, they too wanna police other people's behavior, they will start campaigns to put people out of business or get them fired, and if they can't have it their way they'll even call the authorities on you

amazes me how twitter never ever self-reflects.

Most of it is likely subconscious and the people don't realize they're doing it, but in some cases it's on purpose. Examples: someone who is secretly (a secret to themselves and/or others) a homosexual being obsessed with derogatorily calling others homosexuals and saying that homosexuality is bad. Or someone who is secretly a pedophile, insisting others are pedophiles (even when they're not) and calling them such. Or when someone who may not be very attractive relatively speaking calling someone else 'ugly' to their face without provocation. These are all situations that can be interpreted as this psychological character projection. Interesting. The more you know. Hi.

I recently came across this concept of psychological projection and began to notice myself doing it multiple times a day and plenty of it in the past. I also began to understand that the way I look at other people and judge them is just a reflection of my own shortcomings and personal issues.

But now, after I've gained some insight, I am more capable of catching myself projecting on a daily basis and therefore try to stop it. My question is:

How can I effectively deal with this mental habit and grow out of it?

Some context: I've been battling with anxiety for the past 3 years and finally came to understand more about myself and about why I am so anxious about so many things in my life. I would like to do something similar with projection.

I will start with the Youtube comments that show you even obsessive toxic fans think he has a problem. See below. Then you can decide if the video is worth listening too.

Original video deleted. This archive has a janky player, but it will play eventually. 56 minutes of desperation.

These were in the comments of this video:

Rhaenyra Reigns (Pinned by The Dragon Demands)

Firstly: do not shout at me. Whenever you get emotional your voice rises and it literally hurts my ears (it's not as much about the volume as it is about the tone of a man fueled by pure fury which is troublesome to think about too).
Secondly: take a break.
I appreciate and support your channel's content, but the more I hear from you the more desperate, frustrated, depressed, and unstable you're sounding. Also the exhaustion heard in your voice gets me. Take a "vacation" from YouTube. Drink till you drop, dance all night, do something you like and relax. I refuse to be a witness of self-destructive behavior. Rest and get back here when you feel better about the world. Negativity is contagious, you know. You marinated in it long enough and now it is due time for a detox for you and your audience.
Thirdly: do not expose yourself.
Talking about your personal stuff may be harmful in the future. The more you reveal about yourself the more data those who would like to hurt you get to work with. This is a safety issue.
Lastly: contact some pro bono working lawyers and ask about your situation. I know that Gil from Got Academy is constantly working with a psychoanalyst (her name is Noga), so you could ask a fellow Game of Thrones 'Tuber if maybe they could work with you on this exposing videos.

I sometimes feel like I am being considered a part of some kind of cult here... it may be comforting to shout into the microphone that "Rhaenyra" - really meaning you - "has an army", but your choice of words feels like you're leaving no choice to those who are listening. Kind of verbally pulling in people you assume agree with you on everything and want to participate in this "hunt".
For me it does feel a bit aggressive, even if justified.
Plus... I do know that in America you guys have an obsession with teeth, but believe me when I say adult people in other parts of the world have worse teeth than "Benioff" and nobody would call them atrocious. I myself have worse teeth than t

TLDR:

Tsun Szu in the art of war says:

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

This post is to figure what the Hedgies are afraid of by reversing their psychological projection. This will also strengthen ape's resolve and let us know the tactics that are effective against them.

Psychological Projection: is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others. Wikipedia

This Post is still in progress.... I'm sorry the formatting is disgusting. Its like the early AM on Sunday right now. (Probably won't work on this post until tomorrow and will continue it as more FUD articles are posted.) I just thought this was revealing of the hedgies and their fears. The FUD advice is striked-out and replaced with the opposite. HEdgies' FUD is so predictable and can be 'read like a book' so why not 'write the book' that is the ANTI-FUD? (The ANTI-FUD is kind of encouraging as well.)

A while ago, I lost many relationships due to the same problem, psychological projections. I am just asking, to what extend do you think one should bear the pain of his beloved who are simply reflecting their pain towards him with complete disregard to his feelings?

You should know that their pain stems from past traumas that have lead to many psychological disorders.

Does this showcase psychological projection?

-Person a sees x wearing a better coat and hates person x.

-Person b knows that seeing person x wearing a better coat than them makes b feel bad and b hates person x for it.

-Person c knows that seeing person x wearing a better coat makes c feel bad about themselves, because c knows that c generally has low self esteem and x appearing better than them reminds them of their low self esteem and hates x for it.

-Person d knows that seeing person x wearing a better coat than d makes d feel bad about themselves, because d knows that d generally has low self esteem and x appearing better than them reminds them of their feelings of low self esteem and doesn't hate x because they know the issue is d low self esteem more so than x wearing a better coat.

-person e knows that seeing person x wearing a better coat than e makes e feel bad about themselves, because e is actively hard on themselves in general and e puts themselves down. So when x wears better clothing e attacks themselves saying "why isn't your coat as good, you are not measuring up therefore you are lesser/bad". This makes e feel bad about themselves. E is reminded of their own self talk and doesn't hate x for it because they know the issue is it not about x at all but e's relationship with themselves.

So I have a few questions stemming from the above.

1. Going from A to E, there is an increase in self awareness. Is E's self awareness something that Everyone is capable of?
2. If we're all capable of it, why do some people seem unwilling to move from a-c to the d- e levels?
3. Out of all the letters which do you think is the worst person? (In terms, of poor content of character)"'
4. I still don't understand projection. Can someone please show me how the aforementioned examples show projection and if there isn't any projection then how does projection work?

And it’s just running rampant these days. I know I shouldn’t judge others when noticing it because projection is often a defense mechanism unconsciously made in response to trauma and other serious stuff; That said, projection can just as easily be founded on bullshit, but the risk of being wrong makes it just not worth it.

But you can bet your insecure ass it’s exhausting to deal with. It’s just impossible to ignore. You might as well be holding a sign when you’re projecting.

Now let’s be real everyone projects sometimes. Hell I could be projecting right now for all I know. But can we be decent enough to show some damn empathy for the people who know you’re projecting? I’ll never hold you accountable for it, but when you’re projecting, you’re working out your shit on me nonetheless - and on anyone that’s got the 4+ plus brain cells needed to see how obvious your projection is for that matter.

Oh and always be trying to ask yourself if you’re projecting. It can’t hurt to ask - so just fucking do it.

Intermittent reinforcement - creating a climate of fear wherein you are worried about punishment and it is safer if you go along with what they want.

This is a common tactic of Narcissists. Sometimes, it's referred to as walking on eggshells.

Let's take a closer look for a moment. Narcissists will often be fine for a very long while but someone who knows them well (such as their child) will know there is an impending storm waiting to blindside them around any corner.

Abuse is coming. It is always coming. It might be nasty rumors behind your back or being shoved down a flight of stairs.

We recognize that someone who is repeatedly abusive is not a good person. Most of us have tried pointing out the bad behavior of our narcissists. Then we get pulled in to a therapist with them and our narcissist decided already the problem wasn't their arm length list of abuse and manipulative behaviors. Those only surface from time to time! You're refusing to acknowledge their "good qualities" and next thing you know, they've decided you're doing something called "splitting" and have BPD. Your narcissist has diagnosed you as the problem.

You're confused about why in the world you're supposed to see the good in your abuser. Ok, she bought me food and clothes. Not the clothes or food I wanted. She paid for an apartment so I would be living next to her, not because I needed somewhere to live and wanted to live there. I made an excuse that the place she wanted me to live in was too expensive so SHE bought the damn thing and now I don't feel like I can say no, though the truth was that I didn't want to live there in the first place. She SAID she was helping me find a job but she actually told these friends of hers that I was "a useless, mentally ill criminal who was sucking up her money, could they PLEASE help her out?" Even though it was actually her taking my money the whole time. Yes, she makes really good pie and I can't even find a single flaw with that trait, other than that she's diabetic and probably shouldn't be eating it. But I can! I literally told this to a therapist. "Sure, she makes good pie. That really doesn't make it worth it."

And I sat down and thought... am I splitting? Self reflection is a good thing to have. I thought about people besides my narcissistic parents. I thought about my buddy who is a great DM and a poor housekeeper. I tell him to stop making maps and planning roleplay and go clean up so his wife isn't sad. So he doe
