'Projecting ≠ Overreacting

Sometimes we have a big emotional reaction to a small slight because it activates feelings from the past.

When this happens, you’re not overreacting; you’re reacting the right amount but to the wrong thing.

Your feelings are valid, but some of them are about the past. Punishing the person that reminded you of them will not heal them.'
