//心理投射。Physiological Projection// （English below)
心理學中的投射作用，是一種心理防禦機制。是自欺性的機轉。
大致上來說，也就是我們將現有的缺點，不被接受的想法，將其投射在其他人身上，來形成一種『大家都這樣，所以我也可以這樣。』，或是潛意識我們知道這是會受到指責的，我們就先下手為強。先責備他人，將對方一軍來保護自己。
記得我之前在吃蛋奶素時，我不太跟人多提我那陣子在吃素。因為我心裡頭有點不安全感，覺得自己茹素的舉動，會讓身邊的人覺得跟我用餐不方便。簡單地說，我不想要身邊朋友們覺得我難搞。後來經過了幾次飯局，我發現自己的擔心有點多慮。聚會當中根本沒有人特別問我的飲食習慣，或是如果看到我點的是蛋奶素的餐點，也沒有人會覺得特別。
原來是我自己覺得茹素不方便，才會投射到別人身上。
近期我遇到一位學生時代的老朋友，她在生產完小孩後，身材較圓潤了些。在我們坐在咖啡館，細數學生時代的故事主角們，她的重點似乎都放在這些人物身材的數落上，而非這些人的近況。
有時候，面對外在世界的負面觀感，我們可以回頭思考，眼前的這一切，反映了內心的哪一部分及情緒。
對於不評論他人，這項練習不容易，或許我們可以先從『在別人的行為裡，我看見了自己』來做功課。
Psychological projection is a form of defense mechanism. It means that someone places their own negative/unpleasant thoughts, feelings, and ideas onto someone else.
Generally speaking, it’s an idea that we unconciously defend ourselves by attacking or judging someone because we want to be included or accepted by society .
Last year I was a vegetarian for my health concern . For some reason, I didn’t want to inform my friends I was a vegetarian. I didn’t want them to see me as a girl who is hard to hang out with at dinner parties. After a while I just realised, it doesn’t matter at all! No one cares about my diet when we go out and have fun. It’s a super nomal behavior if I wanted to order mushroom spaghetti without any meat.
Its just my real feeling and I projected it onto people.
Recently I bumped into an old school friend of mine who was worried about her body after having a baby. When we talked about other old class mates she constantly said something about their bodies and how they should look after themselves more.
If we think about it carefully, the way that we see the world around us is a reflection of how we see ourselves.
We all have our blindspots in life. We can all be judgemental sometimes but we can make progress by taking a look at how we view other people and maybe we can learn something about ourselves.
