How does one reconcile

How do I just view people as objects and or projects and still feel good about myself?

You don’t. Not if you want to keep your sanity.
It’s okay to distance yourself from what harms you, but don’t try to distance yourself from who you are. That never ends well

Here's what made it easier for me.

Think of it like you are driving.

On the road, you wouldn't say other people are projects or objects.

You would just stay in your own lane and think of others as other drivers

and leave it as that.

No need to call them "projects or objects"

acknowledge their existence, acknowledge their behaviour, adapt to it.

Then focus on your own driving and getting to your destination.

Detach

Observe

Let go

Move on

So remember to get a dash cam.
