It's when you're accusing someone of something else baselessly because it is something that you actually believe, i.e. you are projecting your beliefs onto someone else
It's when you diagnose someone else's problem but you really are just diagnosing your own problem from personal experience.

but why does it have to be something i belive? why cant i just be picking up on the fact that the dude's a faggot and call him out on it?
just seems like a buzzword to seem right

Because then it's not projecting
People often use the word incorrectly that's why
It's when you notice something within yourself that is too painfull to face up to, so instead you accuse another person for being guilty of it. It's a primitive psychological defense mechanism.
Example
>OP is a faggot
>OP don't want to admit to himself that he likes sucking dick
>OP accuses everyone else for liking sucking dick so OP dosen't have to feel like a total faggot

Yea sounds like he is just using it as a defence mechanism.
Projecting is just like satire, no one really know what it means.

Yes, chances are that he is just trying to counter your argument. The reason people are total faggots is because deep down, they feel like shit. They try to compensate for it by fucking shit up for other people and thus creating the notion that "this guys life just got a little worse, that means my life is a little better in comparison!"
So, in other words, you might be dealing with a total fuckwitt and you should consider cuting that person out of your life to the largest extent possible. Feel free to gloat at the fact that deep down, he knows that he is a poor excuse for a human being.
