Question Posted Tuesday May 19 2009, 7:04 am

There is a word for when you are something, but you act as if you are not and you say the other person is. Like if a person is always sad and they go and tell everyone that you are sad (when you are actually happy and they are the one that is really sad) and they get people believing that you behavior is now "sad" what is that word...i think it starts with a P (but maybe not :P)
thanks

Perhaps you're looking for "Projection"?

As in, a person projects her feelings onto other people to avoid being accused of feeling the way she does.

i.e., a cheating husband accuses his wife of cheating to avoid being accused of cheating himself.

Good luck finding your word, if that wasn't it.
