Projection is sneaky.

[Human Mint]

I was walking the other day and I was feeling a little down, and I remember myself projecting my momentary misery into others. Is this thing where you automatically believe others are going through the exact same thing, or that they're feeling the same thing.

I was able to catch myself doing this and then I realized the mind does this automatically without worries.

If you're self-conscious enough you could at least be aware when you're projecting. But if there is noise around people 100% is due to the fact they cannot stop projecting.

I am not really siting down contemplating this stuff, rather it is a progressive realization.
