There are a few potential things happening when the pattern of projection shows up for us. One is that we may need to look at patterns of scapegoating/being scapegoated in our early childhood experiences. If we had this experience, we may run into people in adulthood who continuously cannot own their shame. This is a mirror of our original wound. But there is more, if these are the kinds of relationships we are attracting, then we are stuck in overlays in relationships, meaning we are not having relationships from a space of authenticity. Meaning there is a high chance we are in relationships where us or them or both are in relationship with an idea of the other person, instead of the reality of them. We may need to look at the ways in which we assume others are projecting onto us, as our own deflection mechanism, designed to avoid our own pain and shame. Projection and deflection are coping mechanisms developed by us, when the relationship models we were socialized into, ie our families, could not own their shame. In order to shift the pattern of projecting/deflecting, we need to re-own our shame. In order to shift the pattern of everyone projecting onto us, we need to integrate our painful experiences where we were not seen for who we were.
