<br />
People might use projection to avoid acknowledging them, or to process them from a safe distance.<ref>[https://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/psychological-projection-dealing-with-undesirable-emotions/#:~:text=It%20can%20be%20challenging%20to,behavior%2C%20they%20could%20be%20projecting.

In [[psychology]], '''projection''' (or projection bias) is a [[defense mechanism]] in which one attributes one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts, emotions, behaviors and/or personality traits to others. As an example, some people who harbor perverted sexual thoughts, feelings, and acts speak as if such things are common or even normal and acceptable: "Everybody views pornography!" or "Everybody commits self-abuse!". Historically, many promoters of the [[homosexual agenda]] (especially [[homosexual activist]]s) have inflated the prevalence of [[homosexuality]] in society.
