People these days don't apologize for doing wrong; instead, they blame us for reacting the way we do. They shift the focus away from their own misconduct and onto our response, as if our emotions and reactions are the problem, not their harmful actions.
This blame-shifting tactic is a masterful deflection, designed to:
- Avoid accountability for their wrongdoing
- Make us feel guilty for standing up for ourselves
- Distract from the real issue at hand
- Paint themselves as the victim, rather than the perpetrator
- Manipulate our emotions and gain control over the situation
But here's the truth: our reactions are a natural consequence of their actions. We have every right to feel upset, angry, or hurt when someone wrongs us. And we shouldn't be blamed for expressing those emotions.
Demand genuine apologies and accountability. Don't let them turn the tables on you. Remember, you have the right to stand up for yourself and express your feelings without being blamed or gaslighted.
