Three other Defensive Mechanism that I use are: Denial, Displacement, and Humor Mechanism
Humor Mechanism
When I have to present something, I usually make some jokes in order for other people not notice how shy I really am.
When people make a joke that is weird or stupid, I would usually laugh because I don't want him to feel bad for his sense of humor.
I feel that I am not very comfortable with myself that I must hide my emotions and thoughts to be the quiet and shy guy.
Denial Mechanism
When my parents are asking me if I have a girlfriend, I would always lie and deny everything they say because I don't want them to find out too early.
When I spend too much time in school, my parents would be deny it and tell them another lie because they don't trust me very much.
When I deny something it feels bad but it also feels right because they want a very long explanation that I really don't want to have.
Displacement Mechanism
When I have a bad day, I usually take it out on my brother or sister because they don't have any big problems.
When I lose a soccer game, I usually yell at my teammates because they didn't score more goals than the other team.
I feel bad that I am taking it out on other people but I should find a way to release my anger in a healthy manner such as boxing.
