« Back to Glossary Index

A projector is an internet slang term used to describe someone who projects their own insecurities or faults onto others. They tend to criticize or blame others for things they are actually guilty of or feel insecure about. It is a way of deflecting attention away from themselves by shifting the focus onto someone else.

Examples:

1. Person A: “Did you hear about that new employee? They messed up the presentation during the meeting.”
Person B: “Yeah, but it’s typical of Person A to call them out. They’re just being a projector because they messed up their own presentation last month.”

2. Friend 1: “Why does Friend 2 always make fun of people’s appearances? It’s really rude.”
Friend 2: “I think Friend 2 is just a projector. They’re always self-conscious about their own looks, so they try to bring others down.”
