Psychological Projection
51 Answers
I think that most folk are aware of this nowadays, but here's a quick explanation...
//Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others// Wiki.
Is it a case that humans are predisposed to condemning in others, that which we cant face in ourselves?
A couple of examples...My ex father in law never liked me because I was an ex con with a few violent related offences against my name. It turned out that he beat his first wife up(my ex's mother). I was convicted of violent crimes , he wasn't, and he buried it in his memory.
Someone else I knew hated same sex relationships with a passion. (perverts, homos, queers etc) Yet had no problem with viewing lesbian porn.
This question has in part been inspired by Eccles post below re: attitudes towards overweight people. Islay pointed out that she'd love to see some of these 'bodies beautiful' that are making derogatory remarks about others. I agree with her.
