What is a common characteristic of individuals who frequently use projection?

High levels of self-awareness
Tendency to acknowledge their flaws
Blaming others for their own feelings and desires
Seeking constant feedback

The correct answer is: Blaming others for their own feelings and desires

Individuals who frequently use projection tend to blame others for their own feelings and desires. This is a common characteristic because projection is a defense mechanism used to avoid taking responsibility for one's own thoughts and feelings. High levels of self-awareness and owning up to one's flaws would contradict the behavior of projection. Seeking constant feedback also does not align with projection, as it involves projecting one's own thoughts onto others rather than seeking genuine feedback.
