Psychological projection is when people see their own feelings or thoughts and attribute it to others. This helps them to protect their ego. An example of this would be if someone makes judgement of another e.g. someone says you are pitiful when they are describing themselves.
It is important to remember the projection is not about you but the other persons insecurities. Bringing compassion to their experience can be supportive. Staying calm and dependent on their curiosity it can be talked about. However in some circumstances dependent on the person distance might be required. Your emotional and physical safety is paramount at all times.
