I have a huge problem facing conflict with my type A wife, so I lie to avoid the confrontational arguments that revolve around my lies related to money.
This was helpful.
Thank you

In reply to Xzvr. Thanks for sharing. In this case, it may be worth exploring the idea of letting go of certain "friends". Here's one of our articles about this topic that contains more information.

This was interesting
Unfortunately it doesn’t help my problem
Like I’m explaining my actions not making excuses but all people see are excuses
If they could see my facial expressions maybe they see I’m actually remorsful
And people tell me taking responsibility is to drown in self pity

How do you get over trauma of gaslighting which effects how you take responsibility
How do I overcome that opstical?

Yes I have a habit of blaming others instead of taking responsibility for my actions. I guess I don’t let being embarrassed or think I will be embarrassed.

Thanks for this beautiful article. I feel like a victim of circumstances more often instead of taking responsibility of my actions.

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for sharing this with us. If I were you, I would say try to be assertive:

“Hey, I really value our friendship, but I’m starting to realize that hurtful comments are impacting me more and more. In order for our friendship to continue, I want you to realize that your actions have an impact on me, and that I think this article (link) might be helpful to help us move on from this situation.”

Good luck and thanks for sharing!

Hugo

I have a friend who simply won’t accept responsibility for saying hurtful things to me and gets angry at me whenever I’m upset about what he did. I am sick of resolving his problem for him constantly and always absorbing his negative behavior. I care about the friendship and I always resolve problems between us on my own while he sees it like I’m at fault and he furthermore argues that he is not doing this. It is too much for me to struggle with any longer. I need him to read this article desperately! How can I get him to read this and understand that he needs to do these things in the article? I’m afraid he’s going to reject reading this no matter how I present it to him…
Thanks for writing this article
