Kamal is the first person I could understand better since the beginning of this course. Thanks to the concept of the shadow projection that made me notice the possibility that the problem could originally be mine. His problem with me (or, more precisely now, my problem with him) was mainly that his actions were aimed at showing off arrogantly; that was my old perspective. I have realized that most similar cases, in which I find people annoying, can be interpreted as a case in which shadow projection happens.
