Projection.
Aware of that possibility, I always have a "supervisor" of some kind to yank my chain when I see a pattern, to oblige me to distinguish between what I bring to the seeing and what is "out there".
Everything can be a Rorschach, from seeing in what I say something that is not there (like saying that I attribute pure will to people) to seeing unresolved mommy issues in Marian (is that really hard to spell?) devotion.
And once an appeal to tabloid psychology is made to deride what someone says, well, the genie is out of the bottle, isn't it? It's good to have skeptical professional friends around. And it's good to remember that wise old saying, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you."
An effective defense against unwarranted and persistent attacks is often called, "projection" by the attackers. The implicit rule is "I'm allowed to say nasty things about you, but you should just shut up." Like many implicit rules, its articulation makes its absurdity undeniable.
