Blame: To assert or consider that someone is the cause of something negative; to place blame, to attribute responsibility (for something negative or for doing something negative)
One of the things that I try to remember on a daily basis - and forget on a daily basis - is that I'm the only person responsible for how I feel, this despite my ceaseless efforts to blame someone else when I feel bad or when I don't feel as good as I want to feel, and I really want to feel good. Poor SuperK, of course, is a convenient target, being close at hand much of the time and a person who has an out-sized influence in my life. I say this with no shame whatsoever because I'm sure I'm a reciprocal target, and deservedly so. Now, all of us are going to be affected by circumstances and the behavior of others from time, and we're going to be riled about these things. That's inevitable. But it's up to me and me alone to take responsibility for how I feel.
