How To Break “The Blame Cycle”
“To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.” Hubert H. Humphrey
Here’s how to break the blame cycle when you feel accused for everything that goes wrong at work or in your relationship.
Being blamed when things go wrong is challenging. You can end up feeling as if the world is against you — that no matter which way you turn you’re being picked on, bullied or victimized. Whether you’re bearing the brunt of blame in your relationship or being blamed at work for things you don’t feel are called for — it hurts.
If you feel helpless in these situations, there are ways to manage both these times and the people who blame, accuse and act defensively when called out.
Without using these techniques, uncomfortable emotions and thoughts can eat away at your sense of self, causing you to doubt whether you’re good enough — or even whether you’re worthy of love or respect.
Breaking The Blame Cycle
“We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers — but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.” Katharine Hepburn
