This episode dives into the idea of projection—when people cast their own fears, insecurities, and unresolved issues onto others. It explains how being called “selfish,” “lazy,” or “too sensitive” often says more about the projector than the person receiving it. The trigger comes from how these labels poke at our hidden insecurities, making us defend ourselves against someone else’s baggage. The episode encourages listeners to pause, ask “Is this about me, or them?”, and set boundaries.
