Projection of reasons for difficulties onto others.

Explanation:

Projection is a basic, self-protective defense, and a process which affects how people understand one another. When we project, we dump part of ourselves, emotions, onto other people, usually to get rid of something objectionable. Meaning that we are throwing a part of ourselves outward and casting it, onto the other person, instead of acknowledging it. That way, other people become carriers of our own perceived flaws. A person who always thinks negatively about himself/herself may also assume that others think the same way, no matter how much they might deny it. Projection requires the denial of specific aspects of social reality, "I never would have done this if I'd been paid what I am worth," as the example here, meaning they always think it is someone else’s fault. They think opposite of how they should think about them and about others, so this aspect of their social decision-making is off.
