Clutch Magazine: Snob Asks "Maybe It's You"

The Snob returns to Clutch this week, penning a post about some classic defense mechanisms that people mistakenly think make them sound strong, but actually reveal them to be uncomfortable hot messes. Obviously, I'm talking about "you." But I think we all know someone, with the same name as ourselves, who may have fallen into these five traps of illogic. 

Here's a taste from the list on Clutch:

2) You Say: “I don’t have female friends because women are manipulative and are always jealous of me.”

But, what if (this one time though) it’s you? Ever heard of projection?

We’ve all encountered fellow women we couldn’t relate to or get along with. But all of them, girl?You don’t get along with “ALL OF THEM?” If you suddenly find the world is populated with awful lady people have you considered that perhaps you are an awful lady person? Projection (a common psychological defense mechanism we’re all guilty of from time-to-time) is where you think you’re seeing people everywhere with a problem that is actually YOUR problem and yours alone. Sort of like someone who says “I don’t want any more drama in my life” like they’re Mary J. Blige, but they’re a cast member of Vh-1’s Basketball Wives.
