W kept pressing for some info from me, who are you talking to?, who are you hanging out with all the time? are you dating? are you on dating apps? I advised her that I was not having this discussion, she kept pressing so I walked away and went to bed. This morning I can't help but wonder where the heck all this came from.
My friend, this is classic "projection". Here's how it is defined: "Projection is a defense mechanism used to displace responsibility of one’s negative behavior and traits by attributing them to someone else." So in short, she is either having an A or is on the cusp of starting one so is putting you on the defensive to pave the way for her actions. You'll be too busy defending yourself to notice what she's doing. It's like a magician (or pickpocket) performing sleight-of-hand, you're watching all the activity in his right hand while his left hand is doing something nefarious.
