I agree that projection is a problem many of us have. But I'm not going to gang up on Cielpur here because she too is here for support.
I do think that many of us expect the world and other people to change for us, and don't understand that we are the only ones who can change. We can choose to be negative or positive about things. Look at my work situation: it's terrible. It makes me insane, but I am making a very honest effort to have a positive attitude and learn how to let things roll of my back and just "keep swimming."
I think a big issue of people with MI is, yes, projection, and also an unwillingness to acknowledge our own power and control over our lives. People often want to take a victim mentality - everything is being done TO them, purposely. That's just not the way it is. Things happen, you can be a victim if you want to. Or you can be a survivor and move on.
