This is a classic example of 'Projection', a type of defence mechanism, that you and me use it unconsciously from time to time. It is believed that we use it to avoid uncomfortable repressed feelings. Projection may also occur when individuals cannot accept their own impulses or feelings. According to famous psychologist Sigmund Freud the uncomfortable unconscious emotions are projected on to other people, so that other people become carriers of our own perceived flaws. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for us, this form of emotional displacement makes it much easier to live with ourselves … because everyone else is responsible for our misery – not us!

The pain experience for all of us begins when unpleasant stimuli activate sensory nerve fibers called nociceptors. The brain itself does not feel pain because there are no nociceptors located in brain tissue itself. Headaches, however, are a different story. Though your brain does not have nociceptors, there are nociceptors in layers of tissue known as the dura and pia that serve as a protective shield between the brain and the skull. In some situations, chemicals released from blood vessels near the dura and pia can activate nociceptors, resulting in headaches, such as migraines.
