Projecting is when someone assigns another person as having done something they themselves have done. It can come in a variety of forms. "You always ____(fill in the blank) " can lead to an argument at worst if the person doesn't always or ever do what has been accused. The person making the charge won't listen and just keeps arguing. The more you profess your innocence the more they go off. This could be projecting. Like an old fashioned movie camera- they are taking their bad behavior and shining it onto you with their comments or accusations. Michelle gives examples in this video of what types of things can be used in projection- and what it means to the person who is doing the projection that you should know.
