Question
What are the possible consequences of Mohsin resorts to blame others every time he fails?
Solution
Mohsin refuses to accept the harsh reality of failure. He is using the defense mechanism of projection, i.e., blaming others for his own failures. He is indulging in escapist behaviour as he is trying to shift the cause of failure from his own incompetencies/lack of effort on to others.
