Is it true that by projecting some one else character can helps us to know the psychology of other person.

Thanks!

Hey,

Projection is a defense mechanism to fight with one's conflict of mind. Like,  I am angry at you but I am saying he is angry with me. I am projecting my emotions on him to get temporary relief. Being empathetic with one, would help to understand other person and what one is going through.

Empathy is putting oneself in other's shoe without being judgmental.

Thanks and regards,

Shazia
