Projection
Friends and readers. Bullies project their inadequacies, shortcomings, behaviours etc on to other people to avoid facing up to their inadequacy and doing something about it and to distract and divert attention away from themselves and their inadequacies.
Projection is achieved through BLAME, CRITICISM, AND ALLEGATION, once you realise this, every CRITICISM, ALLEGATION, etc thay the bully makes about their target is actually an admission or revelation about themselves.
This knowledge can be used to perceive the bully’s own misdemeanours, for instance when the bully makes allegations of say, negative attitude, it is the bully who has a negative attitude. In these circumstances the bully has to understand that if specious and insubstantive allegations are made, THE BULLY SHOULD ALSO BE INVESTIGATED.
When the symptoms of psychiatric injury become apparent to others as in the case of one of the MUIRHOUSE TWO most bullies will play the mental health trap claiming their target is mentally ill or mentally unstable or has a mental health problem. It is more likely that this allegation is a projection of the bullys own mental health problems. If this trap is being used on you,  and  we have every reason to suspect it is or will be used on one or both of THE MUIRHOUSE TWO -assert projection as a defence against disciplinary action or as a part of your legal proceedings.
