Had a situation recently where I was in the company of strangers. The resulting thoughts and feelings from that meeting was the topic of my next T session where T pointed out how my projections were working in that situation.
That topic has stayed with me all week. I find it hard to remain consciously aware. It's so natural to fall back into unconscious projections. But in doing so I give all my power away.
I have another situation coming up again this wkend, where I will try to remain aware.
It's not easy. I don't think there is a simple solution to over- coming projecting.

I don't think there is a simple solution either and it takes a profound amount of self awareness and tiring conscious effort to manage our projections. Sometimes it is easier to do after the situation because during it, I found when I was working on this, it's just too much for one person to do all at once. Eventually working on it outside the situations makes it easier to transfer in. Hope this weekend goes okay.
