Have you ever stopped to wonder if you’re the true protagonist in a story loaded with quirky side characters? It’s a thought that crossed my mind while reflecting on my relationship with someone I fondly refer to as “Shack Man.” This isn’t just your standard love tale; it’s a whimsical journey into the mirrors of our lives. Picture this: a guy who pours more love into his stereo than into his shack—and somehow, I found that strangely endearing. But here’s the kicker: does my attraction to his eccentricity make me the weirder one?
As we dig into the peculiar dynamics of projection and self-reflection, I’ll guide you through that tricky landscape where we often fling our discomfort onto others. Are you, like many, falling into the classic trap of pointing fingers without peeking into your own mirror? We’re diving into everyday scenarios where the blame game can lead to hilariously stark realizations. Buckle up and get ready to explore how flipping the script on our perceptions can pave the way for deeper connections!
So, how good are you to other people, really? If you’re ready to discover the mirrors that surround you, stick around—this journey may just surprise you. LEARN MORE
I wasn’t born, understanding projection. I had to learn about it via interacting with other people.
I think this is typical. This is on my mind, because I learned about projection via my relationship with Shack Man.
In simple terms, he was a weirdo. Most would say so; he spent more on a stereo than he did on his home. Look how weird he is! He lives in a shack! It’s easy to stop right there, but the fact I choose to date, Shack Man, makes me as weird as he is. I think it’s clear to see how the latter can easily be missed or ignored, when you focus on the other person.
Who is weirder? The weirdo or the one who falls for the weirdo? Sounds like a tie to me. Maybe I should not be calling someone a weirdo, when I’m weirder than they are?
Let’s look at some common scenarios. Take a situation where a woman looks at her man and finds him lacking. If she fails to consider her own performance with the same scrutiny, she’s failing, period, in ways she may never imagine. I’ll give you an example.
The woman says the man is not romantic. No rose petals being tossed and no candlelit baths. Okay. But what is she not doing? Is she failing to notice, he’s at work all day? He’s loyal. Possibly paying her bills? Is she failing to show him any appreciation? Who’s the real dog here?
When you see something you don’t like about someone, or if you find yourself criticizing them all the time, chances are you’re using them as a shadow dump. They’re your toilet, basically. You’re pristine.
It’s not just that you shouldn’t do that to another person. If you stopped and thought about it, chances are the entire script would flip. You’d realize, you’ve got every problem the other person does, and then some. You may even realize, they are the minor asshole and you’re the major! Odds are high, you’d never criticize them again.
As bad as it may feel to realize something like this, you can be sure it’s the breakthrough you need. I’ll give another example.
It’s common, these days, to spend the vast majority of your free time, observing (and judging) others. What they did or didn’t do. How they look. Their weight. Their wealth or lack of same. Their number of followers, for Godsakes. What they said. What they failed to say. Can you see what’s missing here?
How about a MIRROR?
What did you do /not do?
How do you look?
How much do you weigh?
How much money do you have and what do you do with it?
How big is your audience?
What did you say /fail to say?
What are you missing?
What would happen to your life, if you invested your time and energy into bettering yourself, rather than hacking away at others? Maybe you should even make amends.
Try this: the next time you see someone step on a crack, ask yourself if you’ve ever stepped on a crack, because guess what..? I bet you have! Oh no! You’re a fallible human too!
Exchanging energy is potentially, incredibly healing, but you’ve got to do more than take and denigrate.
Many, if not most people are isolated at this time, one way or the other. This can easily stunt your growth and kill your compassion. You’re just not going to develop if all you do is critique content. Content which in many cases, is explicitly designed to waste your time, in exactly this way!
I challenge everyone to actually get in life and pitch. Pitch and catch and throw the ball around. Wake up your muscles, especially your heart and mind.
How good are you to other people, really?
