It’s Not Me, It’s You: Projection

Made by teacher-Tea Tadić


What is projection?  projection refers to unconsciously taking unwanted emotions or traits you

don’t like about yourself and attributing them to someone else

 people who feel inferior and have low self-esteem can also fall into the

habit of projecting their own feelings of not being good enough onto others

 people who can accept their failures and weaknesses and who are

comfortable reflecting on the good, bad, and ugly within - tend not to project


 It’s human nature to want to protect yourself from painful or negative

feelings and experiences.

 But when this protection turns to projection, it may be time to take a

look at why you’re doing it.

 Doing so can improve not only your self-esteem, but also your

relationships with others, whether they be co-workers or close friends.


 A stereotype is a widely held, simplified, and essentialist belief

about a specific group. Groups are often stereotyped on the basis of sex, gender identity, race and ethnicity, nationality, age, socioeconomic status, language, and so forth. Stereotypes are deeply embedded within social institutions and wider culture.

 A prejudice is an unfair feeling of dislike for a person or group because of

race, sex, religion.

 Look at the picture. Your task is to write a complete story about the

picture you see above. This should be an imaginative story with a beginning, middle, and an end. Try to portray who the people might be, what they are feeling, thinking, and wishing. Try to tell what led to the situation depicted in the picture and how everything will turn out in the end.
