How do you feel about advice that is projection?

[thehero]

Projection is the judgement that you have in other people but are really the shadow elements of yourself

for ex: 

"you need to put in 10x more work into your life!" 

^Is that projection?

Does projection mean that you can't listen to that advice? 

When and when can't you listen to advice that's a projection?

Hmm are you sure? Because off of wikipedia: 

"Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting." 

Is the definition incomplete?

No because even if they are projecting, they may have a point.

Don't disqualify advice based on that someone might be projecting. Disqualify it based on truth coming from your own judgment.
