What is Projection and is it Real?

Question: What is Projection and is it Real!?

"Oftentimes we project all that we don't like about ourselves, or all that we believe is inferior on to "others"!."

I've read the above in a no!. of books!. Can someone please elaborate or explain it to me!? Does the statement imply that if there is a quality I dislike or even hate in someone, then I am really the one who carries it around and is afraid of owing up to it!? I don't understand, can someone please clarify!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is a defense mechanism against anxiety!. Basically, yes, it means that you are "really the one who carries it around and is afraid of owing up to it"!. According to psychologists, anxiety is caused by a conflict within you, part of you has that trait or desire, and the "moral" part of you dislikes it!. So you see the trait in other people to cope with the conflict by putting it outside you!.
But that's just one way of reacting to problems, and not all your dislikes are necessarily projection!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, its supposed to be a part of normal psychology and is attributed to Signumd Freud!.

A person "projects" his own undesirable thoughts, motivations, desires, and feelings onto someone else!. It is a common process that every person uses to some degree!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

its real and we do not like to own the negative things about ourselves, so if we project those feelings onto someone else, they are more like ourselves, therefor making it more comfortable in the living room of our minds!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
