What’s it called when someone accuses you of something you are pretty sure they are doing themselves?

Just the title really. I’m pretty sure I’m being accused of behaving in a way I’m not and they are telling people I’m doing something I’m just not and never would dream of. I’m many things but I’m not this. I’m pretty sure that they are doing this though.

If they are not aware that it’s something they are doing then this often ends up being something very tricky OP. Ie they will do anything to avoid facing it including escalating lies/behaviours against you.

Personally I have walked away from a situation like this as I was starting to internalise their projection.

i hope you are okay OP.

That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling. Am I really doing this thing and I’m so delusional that I don’t see it. Am I wrong and bad somehow. But I’m pretty sure it’s not me and I’ve backed off so far now. It’s weird how this happens.
