The Projection Game: Fool me once, Troll me twice

Have you ever faced a troll in your life?

Someone who looks sweet on the outside but loathes inside.
Someone who is probably insecure and jealous but over confident on the surface.
Someone whose comments IRL and socially are all about bringing people down.
Someone who privately disses all their friends but publicly are the best buds.

There's a group of people that cannot stand to see someone walk away and thrive.

Their emotions are often masked as “concern” or “righteousness”— they don't come to have a chat. They come to control.

And when control slips through their fingers, they reach for the next sharpest weapon: trolling. 👹

The Psychology of a Troll: A Shadow Unacknowledged

Most trolls aren’t random. They’re disempowered egos in search of relevance.

At the root of trolling is narcissistic injury—the deep discomfort that someone else is free, joyful, or whole without them. 😭 Instead of owning their feelings of insignificance, they project it outward—online, in whispers, in veiled posts and emails.

Not to heal—but to sting.

Because when you're no longer under their thumb, they panic. And that panic wears the costume of criticism, sarcasm, fake spiritual superiority, or even victimhood.

The Misogyny Woven Into Trolling

Many trolls are driven by a subtle (or overt) misogyny:
They believe they are entitled to shape how a woman appears, speaks, heals, or moves on.

And some of this is often generational. Nurtured in the family.

For example:
...the unaddressed ambitions of a mother... who in turn wants to control independent women, let alone raise one...
...the patriarchal lineage of a father who'd rather make complaint lists than talk about equality
...in turn leading to the emotional immaturity of the child who uses parents as a shield to avoid all accountability while living the "young lust" life. (pun intended, you crazy diamond).

They may claim moral high ground or even spiritual wisdom through public appearances and even forwarded Whatsapp posts, but at their core is a belief that if anyone who walks away from their intended projections should suffer.

And when one doesn't, when one flourishes, they feel rage disguised as righteousness.

Because nothing enrages a fragile ego more than someone who doesn’t look back.

Energetic Truth: Projection Isn’t Power

Projection is what happens when someone throws their unprocessed emotions onto your canvas—hoping you'll carry them.

But when you refuse to react, when you stay centered, when you bless and block, you’re not just protecting your peace—you’re closing an energetic and even karmic circuit.

Karma already sees them. Energy always returns to its sender. Returned with compliments. 🙏🏻

Your Sovereignty & Surrender is the Response

Let's talk about Surrender for a minute.

What's the charge behind "Surrender"? ⚡
Is it powerful or powerless? Or is it realigning with something deeper. 🌊

What happens when you choose Surrender?
And let its friend Silence join the party.
When Silence is chosen --- not out of retreat,
but as a return to clarity...

Something I chose almost a year ago...
And in that silence, some quiet and not so quiet
truths emerged.

Seeing the unraveling of people (eg the trolls)...
Watching the play but keeping the receipts. 🎟️ 🍿
Matching reactions to none
And letting the drama fall into the abyss of silence 🤐

When you choose Surrender, something shifts.

What's real and valuable finds a way to stay.
And what only sought control, eventually sheds its skin.

You meet souls on a similar path, just walking a few steps ahead of you, showing you the way: Keep going...this isn’t the end. It’s the unfolding!

And sometimes you may get messages, like an unexpected phone call out of the blue from a blessed soul... That may reveal hidden facts and missing links, guiding you on the path of clarity 👀 🤯 💣

Surrender is grace in motion.
It is the moment one softens into trust.
It is where the soul speaks louder than the ego.

Not passive but powerful.
Not silent but spacious.

So let them troll. Let them spiral.

You don’t owe explanations to projections. You owe your soul peace.
So keep rising and walking on your path.

Because nothing unsettles a troll more than a someone who stopped playing their game… and started writing their own story.

And about writing a story - this is not even the beginning. 😘 🐾
