00:01 Hi guys, today we're looking at the question.

00:02 Juan has a huge crush on sally, but he never admits it.

00:05 Instead, he tells everyone who will listen that sally is really into him.

00:10 Psychoanalysts would see juan's bragging as an example of.

00:13 Okay, so has crush says she has one.

00:25 Okay, good.

00:27 So he wrote that out.

00:29 I'm sorry about that s because i'm still in a race, obviously.

00:40 Okay, so now let's go through the answers, and hopefully we can get to the closest one.

00:44 Displacement.

00:50 This is going to be basically, a lot of these are defense mechanisms.

00:55 Let's just get that clear.

00:57 But this one is going to be funneling your emotions into a different channel other than the source of the emotion.

01:06 So it's the idea of taking it out on someone.

01:08 You know, i had a bad day at work.

01:11 I go home and i'm like kind of angry with my family at home.

01:15 That would be the idea of displacement.

01:18 Juan isn't really doing that.

01:20 Rather, he's putting something he's feeling onto sally.

01:23 That's not really happening with displacement.

01:25 So it's not going to be a b reaction formation, which i'm just going to label as rf.

01:34 This is a mechanism where a person will, in order to avoid facing their actual feelings, they convert those feelings into an opposite action.

01:47 It's like if i'm if it's if i'm super i'm super bummed out i'm super sad i'm just going to act super happy in front of everyone else because i don't know how to potentially confront or talk about my emotions stuff like that.

02:04 So that's once again not really going to be happening here it'd be closer to reaction formation if he had a crush and he was actively like mean toward sally but once again, not happening here.

02:18 So it's not going to be b.

02:20 C, sublimation...
