blame game.

1.
The eternal “victim”
If you’ve ever met the eternal “victim,” then you know how difficult getting through
to them can be.
While they seem harmless at first, their words and actions can be toxic.
The victim never lets go of past hurts or offenses, always blaming others for their
inability to move forward in life.
The “victim” will blame even the most obvious of their own flaws on anyone they
can reach or talk to.
If they have an angry outburst, it is because of the abuse they suffered in childhood.
If they steal, it’s because of their misfortune in the past that has lead them to a life of
crime, etc. etc.
They will relay sob stories and if you have ever failed them, they will remind you, for
many years to come of your failure.
The blame game comes naturally to their mentality.
2.
Narcissist
This character is one of the most toxic manipulators.
The narcissist thrives off attention, and when they fail to get that attention, then
they generally move on.
They also thrive off the blame game.
A narcissist is never wrong and anything that happens to them is never their fault.
The reason for this is because this type of person wants you to believe they are superior,
even though deep down inside, they know they’re not.
They feel the depths of their inferiority like no other.
Honestly, they are crippled by low self-esteem and will do anything to prove the opposite.
This includes never taking responsibility for their actions.
They are dangerous and unhealthy people to be around.
3.
Pathological liars
Okay, there’s not much elaboration to be had when it comes to this individual.
The pathological liar will lie about anything, even if they don’t really feel it’s necessary
to do so.
Even the small things will be reason enough to be untruthful.
So, using the blame game on others seems quite fitting for them.
Since they lie all the time, blaming their failures on others will be as simple as doing
whatever it takes to make the blame stick.
They will resort to stealing if they have to, in order to match their lies to the facts.
It’s amazing how creative a pathological liar can get when shifting blame to someone
who just isn’t responsible in the least.
4.
Those with low self-esteem
This one is a little trickier to understand.
People with low self-esteem would seem like the last ones who you’d think would shift
blame.
However, sometimes the self-esteem falls so low that, in defense, these individuals may
desperately try the blame game in order to improve their self-image.
Admit it or not, some of us have been guilty of this one.
When our self-esteem dropped, we found ourselves looking for reasons to pull others down with
us.
We think that doing so would elevate how we feel about ourselves.
Unfortunately, this didn’t work and ultimately lead to worse feelings after the blame game
ended.
5.
The arrogant
Then you have the arrogant or egotistical individual who will always play the blame
game.
This is usually an everyday activity for this character, walking around with an inflated
ego and placing the responsibility for their actions on everyone else.
In doing so, the arrogant person is able to retain their elevated status, as a self-proclaimed
superior human being.
It’s easy to recognize an arrogant person as well.
They tend to flaunt their abilities at blaming others and make no move to improve themselves
or try to be better people.
I believe those who are arrogant are some of the hardest people to reach when it comes
to making them face responsibilities.
6.
Control “freaks”
You might not have bad intentions and you might absolutely hate those words, but control
freaks will never be at blame for anything.
Why?
Because to admit failure would be to lose control of the situation and of yourself.
People who always want to retain control will be prone to play the blame game as well.
So, how can we stop playing this game?
Unfortunately, some people may never stop playing the blame game.
I mean, you could try to convince someone that they should take responsibility for the
mistakes they made, but, this will only angered them and caused resentment.
One of the first and most important steps in ending the blame game is to admit you could
possibly be wrong!
Yes, it’s true!
That mistake that was made could actually be your fault!
Admitting your responsibility opens the way for a change.
This is where we start, and now’s the time to drop the manipulative tactics.
1.
Perspectives
One of the most fulfilling parts of life is being able to see things in different perspectives.
If you struggle with understanding why someone is telling you that you made a mistake, then
maybe you cannot see things in any other perspective other than your own view.
It’s times to see things through other people’s eyes for a change.
2.
Lose control
Stop trying to control everything around you.
You will never be able to fix, find, save, or know everything, so get over it.
When you learn to release a little control, then you will be able to take the blame when
something is your fault.
3.
Take responsibility
Basically, it’s time to take responsibility for your own actions.
You are an adult and fully capable of making mistakes and owning up to those mistakes.
Instead of spending so much energy looking for a way to deny your issues, use that same
energy to become better at your downfalls.
Well, that's the types of toxic people who love playing the blame game and how to deal
with them.
I hope this helps you understand others and yourself as well.
Be strong, and refuse to play the blame game!
