In psychology, projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts, emotions, behaviors and/or personality traits to others. As an example, some people who harbor perverted sexual thoughts, feelings, and acts speak as if such things are common or even normal and acceptable: "Everybody views pornography!" or "Everybody commits self-abuse!" For an extreme example see homosexuality.
Narcissistic personality disorder and projection
See also: Narcissistic personality disorder
A majority of narcissists lack self-awareness.[1] Their self-esteem/self-worth is dependent on how other individuals perceive them, and as a result they often practice denialism and deny personal flaws in themselves and accuse others for their own failings, errors, and personal misfortunes.[2][3] Individuals with narcissistic tendencies are projection-heavy people.[4][5][6]
Individuals with strong narcissistic, sociopathic/psychopathic issues deny, project, accuse, and attempt to confuse and/or hurt others.[7][8]
