How To Stop Blaming Others All The Time
Blaming other people for our own mistakes is something a lot of us are good at.
You didn’t get a good mark in that exam? It’s the teacher’s fault.
You didn’t get promoted at work? Your boss must have a grudge against you.
And so the cycle of blame goes on…
So what can you do to stop this vicious spiral of blaming other people?
Well, easy as it is to say and hard as it is to actually put into practice, you can start by taking responsibility for things.
Maybe starting small, so you get in the habit.
After all, the fact that most of the world isn’t well fed and is often fighting probably isn’t your fault.
But forgetting to take out the trash on the right day, now there’s something you shouldn’t really blame someone else for (unless he’s your husband and it’s his job of course!).
The blame culture gets everywhere.
Governments do it all the time.
So it’s easy to think we can do the same.
But this has a negative impact on the person you’re blaming. Oftentimes, the effect is bigger than you could imagine and may well lead to a breakdown in your friendship or relationship with them if you chip away at them too often.
You can start to reduce the number of times you blame other people for things that aren’t actually their fault by engaging your brain before your mouth.
Give yourself a few seconds pause before you let rip with the next exercise in blame.
Think it through – was it really 100% their fault? Or does at least some of the blame belong elsewhere?
Counting to ten under your breath will help.
Sure, there’ll be times when you still blame first and ask questions later. But you can work on those areas over time.
