YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Confusion 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.
