"Projection, on the other hand, often comes from someone who’s not lying to you; they’re lying to themselves."

Yes, great description of this behavior. I learned a long time ago that someone throwing an accusation at you is actually revealing their own sin or — even more likely — the accusation that's gnawing away at them on the inside. For instance, if they mock you failing at some small thing, it's because deep inside, they feel like a failure themselves.
