Projection is one of those words people use all the time, but rarely slow down enough to understand. In this episode of YNA Mental Health, we talk about what projection really is, why it happens, and how unresolved shame, fear, insecurity, and pain can get pushed onto the people around us. We also explore what it feels like to be projected onto, how repeated accusations can start shaping your identity, and how to tell the difference between intuition and projection. If you’ve ever walked away from a relationship, argument, or conversation wondering, “Is this really me, or is this something being placed on me?” this episode is for you. Not everything thrown at you belongs to you. You’re Not Alone.
