projection

Explanation:

Jerry's problem is a case of psychological projection. A psychological projection is a sort of defence mechanism by which a person tries to defend his ego by attributing his faults (positive/negative which are impulsive and unconscious) to other people. This is characterized by blaming and shaming others for a problem that one is solely guilty of such as how Jerry is a rigid and stubborn person and yet shifts the blame to his friends.
