I'm not suprised with the history this person has involving inappropriate interactions with minors, that he'd bring up someone's kids.
Anyways..
Projecting, in psychological terms, refers to a
subconscious defense mechanism where an individual attributes
their own feelings, thoughts, or characteristics onto someone else. It involves unconsciously ascribing
one's own emotions,
desires, or beliefs to others, often without recognizing or acknowledging that they are projecting.
When someone is projecting, they may be expressing or attributing
their own unresolved issues, insecurities, or conflicts onto others. For example, if someone consistently accuses others of being dishonest, it could be an indication that they struggle with their own issues of honesty.
Projecting can serve as a way for individuals to
cope with
uncomfortable or distressing emotions by displacing them onto others. It allows them to distance themselves from
their own internal conflicts or to
avoid taking responsibility for
their own thoughts or behaviors.
It's important to note that Boba may not be aware that he is projecting his own issues onto others.
