YouTube Description
as posted by the channelConfusion re: internalization, introjection, identification, and incorporation.
Projection is when you attribute to other people the parts in you - traits, cognitions, emotions, behaviors - that you are ashamed of, feel guilty about, or reject.
So, you cannot project positive elements of yourself onto others - only negative ones.
When you erroneously attribute positive traits, behaviors, motivations, talents, emotions, or cognitions to others or when you exaggerate them- this is idealization, not projection.
Splitting and self-splitting vs. Cognitive dissonance: conflicting messages or mixed signals from authority figures, role models, etc. result in dissonance, not in splitting.
