Those who haven’t made room for their own growth will find it hard to see you change. Once they’ve decided who you are (often based on inadequate evidence), it’s hard for them to see anything else.⁣

Projections help people feel safe. Labelling others based on our beliefs and judgments makes us feel like we’ve appropriately categorized them and can adequately predict if they are good or bad for us.⁣

As compromising as this sounds to creating authentic connections, sometimes projection arises out of necessity. For example, when siblings grow up in an unstable environment, the younger one often projects the need for a parent onto the older one. Because they are only children, the unaware older sibling may embody this projection, relinquish autonomy, and begin taking on a caregiving, protective, and nurturing role.⁣

The more emotionally unsafe we feel in the world, the more we narrow the lens through which we’re willing to see people.

Coping with people’s projections is even more unfortunate. As you experience yourself from an unpleasant perspective, it’s uncomfortable and painful, much like squeezing into shoes that are two sizes too small. And despite your love for these shoes, you’ll never be the size they were made for.⁣

What would happen if we created so much emotional freedom that we could non-judgmentally observe one another? With optimism and positivity, there’s more room for understanding that we’re all works in progress and equally deserving of love and respect as we are. With open minds, we’d bring out the best in each other.

On a smaller scale, we can nurture authentic relationships by refusing to put ourselves and others in a metaphorical box. Most importantly, knowing that they might not be able to reciprocate this, doesn’t deter you from seeking the best in them. And by chance, your demonstration of self-love may encourage them to expand their heart and trust that it’s safe to be vulnerable and be seen for who they are so they may see others for who they truly are.⁣
