Displacement is a defense mechanism where an individual redirects their emotions from a threatening situation to a less threatening one. For example, someone upset with their boss may take out their frustration on their family instead. This allows the person to avoid dealing directly with the source of their distress.
They use it when someone diturbs them as a defence mechanism and then the skunk gets away when its predator is disturbed... :)
Suppression is a defense mechanism in psychology where individuals consciously push unwanted thoughts or feelings out of their awareness. For example, someone facing a traumatic experience may suppress the memories to avoid the associated pain. Another example is suppressing anger towards a friend to maintain the friendship.
Projection is a defense mechanism where an individual attributes their own undesirable feelings, thoughts, or impulses onto someone else. This helps the individual avoid confronting their own uncomfortable emotions by instead seeing them in others. This can lead to misunderstandings and conflict in relationships if the projected feelings are not acknowledged or addressed.
Some examples of defense mechanisms include denial (refusing to accept reality), projection (attributing one's own unacceptable thoughts or feelings to someone else), and repression (unconsciously blocking out painful or anxiety-inducing thoughts or memories).
They have tips on the WikiHow site. One tip is to see if one have a defense mechanism, for example, was one involuntarily intoxicated, was one's drink spiked. Or was it accidental intoxication, had one been on medication earlier on, and thought one's medication had worn off.
