It's All About Me, It's All About Me.

Responsible: Expected or obliged to account (for something); answerable; accountable.

One of my favorite past times is blaming other people for anything and everything. It is far, far easier than taking responsibility for my own actions. If something is amiss in my life I just figure that the problem is caused by someone else. How could it be my fault? I'm such a nice person who is taking appropriate actions with good intentions. I have everyone else's well-being in mind. I only want what is good for others.

Unless, of course, what is good for someone else stands in the way of my getting what I want. Or it causes me any pain or discomfort. And there is nothing sweeter than pinning the blame for any of the messes that I create by behaving in an astoundingly self-centered way.

I have to reboot every morning. When my eyes open I'm already pointing my finger. It's important to practice my blaming skills. I have a full schedule of not dealing with the consequences of my behavior.

It's not them.
