In a now-closed thread,
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,868170,868529#msg-868529, Mr. Foxe introduced me to "the process of projected guilt [that] is almost always unconscious. But it's the reason we look for the negative in others and feel more 'innocent' or righteous ourselves because of it."
Sooooo, I Google "projected guilt," and clicked on the first result:

I normally start from a position that people I meet are good, kind and honest unless, over usually too much time, I realize that they're not good to have in my life or vice versa.
Can you project compassion and kindness? If so, is that as loathsome as projecting guilt? Does a person project optimism because they want to feel more guilty and unjustified?
O_o
Seriously, sometimes you just have to say that you think something doesn't make sense to you because you've thought about it, and it doesn't make sense to you. Nothing more, nothing less.
