A study that was conducted on effect of women for going foreign interview so they were told that in order to analyse the impact of the way a person look and there success in the interview the receptors said that we are going to put a scar on your face and your going to perform in the interview and see how the interview were would treat you and analyse your performance at the end of the day is that the makeup artists actually told that they are creating the scar on their face but their scars were removed before going to interview during the makeup. But the women still believe that there is a scar on their face. So when they come out of the interview when they were asked how the interview went they were complaining about all the discrimination the faced and how scar has impacted negatively in the interview.
So we project our insecurities on the world, we project how we feel about ourselves due to which out behaviour may not be optimal. Due to this self consciousness, we may think that others have took advantage of us.
We will perceive the world the way our perception is inbuilt in our mind which is things not as they are but assume things the way we want them to be and what we believe about the reality.
