When Projection Turns into Drama: Why People Make It About Them (and How to Protect Your Peace)
When Projection Turns into Drama: Why People Make It About Them (and How to Protect Your Peace)
Have you ever shared your heart, posted your work, or sent an email—and someone comes out of nowhere acting like it’s all about them? Suddenly, they’re loud, offended, and calling you everything but your name—even though they never bothered to actually watch or read what you shared?
Yeah… that happened to me this week. And if you’ve been there, too, let’s talk about it.
The Truth About People Who Assume Everything Is About Them
When someone takes your words personally without even checking the facts, it reveals more about them than you:
✅ They’re projecting. When your light triggers their shadows, they’ll twist your message into an attack, so they don’t have to look inward.
✅ They’re seeking validation. By making themselves the victim of a story that wasn’t about them, they get to rally support and attention.
✅ They’re avoiding accountability. It’s easier to blame others than face what still needs healing inside themselves.
My Personal Story: Turning Chaos into Clarity
This week, I sent out an email to my list—a powerful message for women ready to heal, manifest, and rise. One recipient who was still on my list assumed the email was about her. Without even watching the video, she jumped on social media, posted about “fake positivity,” and ignited drama.
When I responded to clarify, she escalated further, resorting to insults and even calling me a witch. It was a perfect example of how assumptions and projections can spiral—especially when someone feels triggered but doesn’t do the work to get the facts.
But instead of letting her energy pull me down, I chose to stand firm in my truth, block with love, and turn the experience into a reminder of how important it is to protect my peace.
How to Protect Your Peace When People Project
If you’re a woman standing in your power, know this: your light will always irritate those still sitting in their darkness. Here’s how to stay grounded:
✨ Block unapologetically. Boundaries are self-respect, not pettiness.
✨ Refuse to over-explain. When people are determined to misunderstand you, more words won’t change their mind.
✨ Stay rooted in your purpose. Your work is for those who are ready, not those who are triggered by your growth.
✨ Observe without absorbing. Someone else’s meltdown doesn’t have to become your mood.
✨ Use affirmations to stay aligned. Repeat words that keep you focused on your power instead of the chaos.
