It's moments like this when I am glad that I grew up with enough insight to have figured out what projection was by the time I was 12- even though I didn't have the word for it until I took an extremely basic high school psych class. My mom doesn't do anything but project.

I tried mentioning that some people are really starting to rub up against a very serious trigger for me by making me feel weak but I think that was just kinda lost. But that's okay because I know better than to let someone's projections actually make me do anything to myself.
