@Inaut Do what you wish by all means, as that means freedom to choose. Projection is what most humans come with, like a software glitch. And my experience is that without years of self reflection, therapy, and constructive (and instructive) relationships, Or a Combo of these, etc., one many never 'own it' and integrate those shadowy aspects of ourselves. And then it becomes reflected in our behaviour and our words. This forum is made from people, and yes, there are varying degrees of Individuation, and hence knowledge of projection. This ain't no Jungian café. Or, maybe it could be! Depends on one's point of view.
A client years ago said to me, "Trust God, Love people.". So I do not mix or try not to mix the two, even though I do believe at a deep level, we are all divine. Glad to hear you are discovering your Spiritual path in life. No diet or supplement can make you more or less spiritual, but being healthy is a great place to start. Just not making a religion out of it is also healthy.
I do take some offence in your declaration:
"It’s taken me many years and many hours on this forum to realize that all we do is project our insecurities on others."
So it seems you may be projecting that we all are projecting, as you stated above. Remember that one's point of view, even if unconscious, is driving your experience. There are lots of people here who are not commonly actively projecting, and are actively promoting good health in the Ray Peat inspired tradition, as well as other interesting positive health suggestions.
Helping others or being in service to others is a great way to sublimate your ego, and in the near East it is often referred to as Karma Yoga. Performing service and activity for others, without grasping at the fruit of your actions. Western lifestyle/culture is so far removed from basic Traditions (religious/spiritual) that people are quite 'out of it' in the field of relationships, and relationship to Life, God, Jesus, or Buddha. Etc..
There is a lot to learn in Life, so keep going mate!
Cheers, and Godspeed.
