Defense Mechanism



we have a lot of anxiety thus we have defense mechanisms that are set in place. I have two that i overuse time after time and they are Displacement and Projection. Displacement is taking frustration out on something else and projection is assigning feelings to others. My displacement come from things that i cant get done or get things that i want. It is quite annoying at times but i always do it. For example wen i want to eat something and my parents cook something entirely different i take out my anger out any thing and anybody. I have alot of anger inside much more than anyone should have but i hide it. I would go shoot or hunting to release it. I am not proud of my anger but i would love to think before i act. It will really help the situations i tend to get in. Due to the fact that i have displacement i project my feelings on to others. Its hard to control because of my anger. if i am angry the very next person that i see i will blame them for my anger. Because of this i tend to keep far from people. i will try to change them but its a difficult task. But i mist.

  1. Score: 12/25

    You can raise your grade on this by adding another entry. You missed the second half of the assignment which was to do the same thing but for the Neurotic Needs from Horney. There is another blog due. You were not at class the day I made the assignment. Please see me as soon as possible so I can explain the assignment.

  2. See my comment above. In addition, you are missing the following: Journal #2, which was to discuss the results you had for the online personality tests that you did at the beginning of the semester. You were to say if you agreed with them and what you learned. The assignment on values, the assignment on questions about the movie Precious, Parts 1 and 2 of the autobiography, Who I Was and Who I Am, the online quizzes on stress and emotional IQ. Don't forget the last part of the autobio is due Friday, Who I Will Be. See me if you have questions.
