We are all mirrors of each other...
literally 🪞
Don't cling to others' opinions.
They don't even represent the truth of things.
✨
Many times the people we deal with are dealing with THEIR OWN PROJECTIONS, they are not even looking at us for who we are. And we do the same with others.
And reading about this, recognizing this, is so important, because then we stop projecting our own disorganized things onto others, as well as stop receiving so openly the projections of people as absolute truths of life.
How much of your opinions about others doesn't exactly reflect your view of them, but rather what you feel about yourself when looking at them? Some examples.
Examples:
The person who is already in their adulthood and who specifically has the frustration of not having lived their dreams, not having pursued something that fulfilled them, for various personal reasons of theirs.
It is something that calls for healing and harmonization of this, so that the person does not live with this unhappiness within themselves. However, many of us do not have the habit of reflecting on how much our past impacts our present, and neither on how much we have our baggage disorganized that we reflect onto others the who-o-le time.
So, the person in the example, older, and who has this specific issue of frustration, sees a young adult being independent, chasing their dreams.
Whenever dealing with a young person who reminds them of this, their ego immediately confronts with the information of "I wished I was living this", and this being's energy shifts to a position of envy, and sometimes it can even seek to harm the other person by inventing stories, distorting the other's independence into arrogance, gossiping, and so on.
And the "crazy" thing is that, believe it or not, this being tells themselves that they are doing this for reasons they invent for themselves ("this person is arrogant, look at them, all independent!") when, in reality, it is they who are constantly feeling uncomfortable with the strong and independent presence of the other. Low self-esteem and comparison, which unfortunately lead to envy.
The young person, in the example's case, doesn't need to say anything to the person for this to be triggered, because the ego, which is the primary channel through which we tend to have contacts with others, captures this information.
The ego will capture, will know that it is something that needs to be compensated internally but that the person, out of pride, out of ignorance, out of disinterest, out of stagnation, or whatever, did not run after correcting.
Knowing this, the ego, which has important functions for our psychic structure, but will always depend on how its "owner" conducts it, will deal with envy, as this is the way the person deals with things they receive from their surroundings and that "hit" them in the mirror effect, since, in reality, we all serve as mirrors to each other. All the time (and it was supposed to be a good thing, but the way we deal with it makes it bad).
The human ego is important,
but not the end of everything.
It is only a part of the mind's structure. It is limited, but it exists so that the human being, with their current limitations, deals little by little with what they can from the exchanges they make.
The conscious mind is limited. The unconscious, infinite (and we are more than 80% made of unconscious mind!).
The ego is the most active part in us, but it is not the only one that exists.
And so there is an axis to be activated, which is the Ego-Self axis, so that every human being knows that the place of the Ego is the place of support to live the moment, to deal with the moment.
The Ego is like a filter for consciousness to support and live. But it's not the end.
Therefore, not everything your conscious mind says is real.
The "conscious" mind needs to be refuted and reviewed by yourself, because it PROJECTS itself all the time, it is always in contact with others and taking to others what is uniquely its own (especially unresolved things, but also good things), as well as always bringing in what others say.
And if so, and if the Ego is in the part of consciousness but it is limited, does not reflect everything, it needs to be refuted. So that our mental life is healthier and truly conscious, in the pure and true sense of the word.
In the example, the person who is envying lacks independence and confidence to follow their own path internally, they are absent from it, it is something they know they do not have within them but that for their own well-being and dream, it would be important to have (after all, the more we live our lives in integrity, seeking to be and live more sides of ourselves, less restricted, limited, we will be, and your consciousness, deep down, knows this 🙌🌟).
Another important point to mention is: On the other side, if it is a person with traits of fear of judgment, fear of exclusion, this situation will negatively fit, making the being who is envying seem so right and the one who is afraid of judgment, feels down. It is important to take care of this to avoid further internal issues.
If you identify that someone is projecting onto you in a very negative way, step back, take care of it in yourself and let the other's internal work be their own. But, although difficult, avoid the issue of anger and revenge. This will keep you in this process longer than necessary.
Both people need help,
in the first case, for having a deep low self-esteem to the point of letting this splash onto others;
in the second case, for having a root of fear of judgment and fear of not pleasing others, which leads them to believe that the harshest and most negative criticisms that arise from people reflect reality.
Another example:
A woman who denies the experience of her feminine side in integrity (the issue of sexual self-awareness, for example) by conditioning herself to some kind of intense restriction, and who also experiences the difficulty of, when looking at any woman who does not do the same as her, judges, but it is not just any judgment, but rather a categorization and labeling, because for her the wound with the experience of other sides of her femininity is so limited, and, because she keeps denying this to herself, the anger at those who live in freedom arises and increases whenever she encounters such a person.
It is important for both sides to take care of this, the first, who is emanating and projecting, the second, so that their internal difficulties with fear of judgment or something similar, do not increase.
Everything can be reversed into an opportunity for healing!
Heal, heal, heal, still and especially if the person has come, in malice, because of their projection, to hurt me.
These are just some of the various examples we could give to illustrate how our opinions about others and the opinions they give are not always what things really are.
Don't cling to others' opinions.
They don't even represent the truth of things.
Many times the people we deal with are dealing with THEIR OWN PROJECTIONS, they are not even looking at us for who we are. And we do the same with others.
And reading about this, recognizing this, is so important, because then we stop projecting our own disorganized things onto others, as well as stop receiving so openly the projections of people as absolute truths of life.

of course it doesn’t fit them, being scared of the dark ? or water ? spiders ? oh so (not)funny to think about big strong 141 having such normal fears. Suddenly they feel more atteignable. What do you think?
-🧊
141 Fear Headcanons
Multi-Character Masterlist
This can be interpreted as phobias, but I didn’t explicitly say so as phobias and regular fears are different! This is also quite short, I apologize.
-> John Price
Fear of the Dentist.
I headcanon that he has a fear of the dentist. Maybe he didn’t go to often in his youth, so he never got used to the sounds of the tools, the close in proximity—he also hates the lack of control!
-> Kyle “Gaz” Garrick
Fear of Bats.
Kyle is petrified of bats. This man who actively goes into highly dangerous situations, is shaking in his boots at the sight of bats. He always rambles about the possibility of rabies, and he knows how unlikely it is, but he’s convinced every single time.
-> John “Soap” MacTavish
Fear of spiders.
High-pitched screaming, scrambling to get away from the spider, claws onto the highest surface if it’s on the ground, etc. He says shit in Scots as he points to it. When he’s on mission, he’s more calm, but he wordlessly switches spaces with someone else so he doesn’t have to be near the spider.
-> Ghost
Fear of germs/illness.
It’s more subtle than anything and wearing gloves all the time helps him, but he hates when he has his gloves off. Active hand washing, he’s the type to carry mini bottles of hand sanitizer, prefers pre-packaged food, etc. Ghost doesn’t like germs because they make him sick.
