Projective Displacement

Projective displacement is the mental process (generally unconscious) of transferring 'bad' feelings out into the world. Also referred to as 'toilet object behavior', as in, dumping one's emotional shit onto undeserving targets. It's one thing to vent anger, for instance, at that which has provoked the anger, but it's projective displacement when the anger is aimed at anything or anyone but the provoking agent.

Apocalypticism & Suicidal Ideation

There are doom-seekers in plenitude. This post is intended to help the reader notice the connection between doom-mongering & depression.

I have struggled with massive depression & suicidal feelings for over 30 years. It was only in the last couple of decades that I noticed the suicidal ideation buried in the apocalyptic fantasies of supposedly non-suicidal & ostensibly 'happy' people around me.

The next time someone starts predicting the crumbling of modern society, the destruction of everything around us, the end of it all, I want to encourage you to hear the excitement that can be found in the doomcriers voice, to hear the hope for catastrophic extinction that fuels these dreams of endtimes. This is the suppressed voice of depression seeking the catharsis of suicide so enormous, they'd take all the world along. Thru projective displacement the repressed depressed seek to throw out their bad feelings, their fears & anxieties & stresses, onto the world around them. Blameless for their suicidal feelings, guilt free, without the taint of mental illness, the doomcrier projects out their own desire to kill themselves onto the evil world. Ritual emotional purification of the wrong of intense self-harm.
