Who should be hurt?
Who should be blamed?
Is it easier to take the blame or to give it?
Which one are you more inclined to do?
I find that I tend to place the blame upon myself, and relieve the other person of any fault. I naively acknowledge my missteps, assured that the other person will do the same. I’m not sure why I do this. I guess its easier to deal with myself and scold myself, than it is to reprimand another person. Another GROWN ass person, at that (can you tell I have a sincere issue with this?).
I believe we should all take responsibility for our own actions and our own involvement in any situation. It seems that people are quick to blame others for their shortcomings. And while others may have had an impact on your actions……ultimately, you are still responsible for the role you play.
Even if someone hits your car, and it causes you to hit someone else’s car……you’re still accountable for contacting your insurance company (assuming you had insurance to being with), filling out the proper paperwork, responding in a timely fashion, etc. You can’t just sit around and wait for someone else to take care of YOUR duties. Even though you weren’t the cause of the incident, you can certainly delay progress.
who’s on first?
This is SHESOPINIONATED.com,
and everyone is entitled to my opinion.
I tend to be the first to apologize…most of the time it’s because I am wrong… and the other times, well…I have a way of making someone feel like shit when I apologize for something they have done. Make any sense? I know it’s sort of ass backwards…that ol’ passive-aggressive shit…but…umm, that’s who I be! lol
Makes complete sense, I do that too. And that’s usually when I get the “explanations” of how it was really a third party’s fault, or the universe caused it to happen. Wah wah wah.

I’m tired of takin the blame or tryna figure out what I did to cause someone else to act a fool. From now on, it’s NEVER my fault! LOL.
I know that’s right. The words “I’m sorry” or “I apologize” shall be stricken from the record.

ditto Andrea!
I was just thinking that today–how can I remind myself from now on to makes stuff someone else’s problem and not mine?
