Introjection and Projection

I am in a place where I am trying to figure out why I let myself stay in this relationship for so long and where "I" went in all of this. I entered it as a happy, optimistic, passionate and sensible person and morphed into an ugly, brainless and beaten up person.

I came across an article while trying to search for some insight and found this:

"Projection’s most damaging effect is the hardening of the previously open and giving person who is victimized by the Narcissist."

With permission from a mod....I cited the above from an article called:
"Introjection and Projection" by David Alder

It's a long article and it's the first time I recall seeing the word introjection. (GREAT WORD!) There is a followup to it there called "How a Narcissist Uses Introjection and Projection".

They are both WELL worth the read!
