what is wrong with "Projecting" your emotions?
how is this unhealthy. who cares if everyone projects!
Answers:
When a person projects her emotions, she attributes her own feelings to her interlocutor. Thus, blinded by her own emotions, she cannot see, hear or understand that the person she's talking to may be feeling, reacting or saying something completely different. In other words, communication fails because more than a conversation it's a claustrophobic monologue.
It scares people.
what do u mean projecting?? u mean showing your emotions? if that's wat u mean,,,this is not unhealthy. It is one of your defense mechanisms,,,i f i remember it correctly. bottling things up can ruin u.
it depends upon how you "project" it i guess. maybe it is healthy in a way cause you can let your emotions out. but it becomes unhealthy when you let it out in a very irrational way.
Its healthy to talk about your feelings in a non threatening open minded way but "projecting your emotions" sounds to me like passive aggressive behavior.
don't tell that to the movie stars. they'll run of jobs if you do.
but projecting your emotions has two sides.
negative - people would think you're too pathetic, or a too ego-loving maniac. maybe it would also show you how deranged a man is, or how capable a man can kill. remember, if looks could kill?
positive - it only promotes gladness. people around you may catch your drift and in a similar likeness, be able to do good positive deeds.
the important thing is watching one's ethical behavior. you can't sob so loudly in a church or a seminar, right? or you can't laugh at a funeral if a joke has come to your attention. in a practical sense, there are limits in projecting what we feel. bottom line, in an appropriate time and place, the limits for projection has to be observed.
It is the worst kind of problem. It is assuming that everyone is like you - and they aren't. The opposite of projecting is understanding and tolerance, and I can tell you right now that if you aren't doing either of these things, there is something wrong with you.
It is a primitive defense that puts the responsibility on the other person. to deal with the emotions that really started with the projector. Better to work it out in therapy, that will bring people closer to you, and leave people less hurt and confused.
it is wrong because this means u aren't dealing with ur emotions. it is a defense mechanism(look this up) and has consequences
