- Comment from author about the poem: Projection: Sometimes, when people are overly focused on their own needs, they accuse others of the very selfishness they are struggling with.Emotional Overwhelm: If they are not used to deep vulnerability, your openness might feel "heavy" or demanding to them, which they incorrectly label as selfish.Mismatched Expectations: They might want a specific kind of support or attention, and when you share your own feelings instead, they view it as taking the focus off them.
