A Question to the Masses

What's it called when someone projects their guilty feelings about themselves onto someone else?

For example: a prostitute showing irrational hatred towards someone else because of their own guilt of being a prostitute?

I think there's a term for this, I just can't think of it for the life of me.

Sorry, I'm reading your journal because I'm bored. Hence the large number of comments I left you. But now I'm going to sleep so I promise no more comments. Nighty Night.
