Does anyone have a name for this one coping mechanism that I've noticed? Basically, people cope with their problems by projecting them onto other people. For example, if someone is overweight and is trying to lose weight, they will complain about other people (usually their family members) being "overweight" (putting this in quotes because I see them talking to non-overweight people, saying things like "I haven't seen you exercise in a while").
Seriously this coping mechanism needs to stop. I'm tired of having other people's problems projected onto me, just because they can't get their life together.
I mean I have my own problems too, but using me and exaggerating my problems to cope with your own problems doesn't help you at all.

@xianc78 you see this literally all the time with anime/loli haters ending up either liking loli or just being straight up pedos who are caught with CP and trying to have sex with children.

@beardalaxy I'm talking more about dysfunctional people placing their problems on other people. I see this mostly with people with weight and mental health issues. It's supposedly called "Psychological projection".
@xianc78 it's been something anime fans have been dealing with for YEARS lol we know what's up. vaush being the most recent one.
@beardalaxy I just can't relate to that because I'm not really into anime, but that is annoying too.
