Anti-Introject[edit source]

Has anyone yet coined a general term for an introject that formed in opposition to the source? For example, a caretaking sort of headmate developing the exact opposite traits of a neglectful or abusive parent, up to and including arbitrary things, like personal tastes?

We were thinking Contraject (shortened from Contrary Introject), with Antiject (shortened from Antithetical Introject) being a synonym. LazarusRising (talk) 01:10, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

From what I can recall right now, there are terms like spitegenic and misiaorma where a sysmate could have opposing traits to their source out of spite, as well as nonsimilous describing someone who is different to their source in a significant way and source-negative describing having bad feelings about their source, but I can't think of any direct -ject or -tive terms
I like the sound of "contraject" though! "Antiject" might get confused with "anti-[x]", like a hateful term.
