WHY WE BLAME
“I felt intimidated by her confidence. She is a stuck-up.”
“I felt offended by my friend’s frankness. She is just mean and brutal.”
“I felt left out and ignored by my girlfriend’s fame and busy schedule. She’s an arrogant snob.”
“I feel inferior to her self-confidence. She thinks she is all-knowing.”
“I felt stupid and challenged by his intelligence. He is super conceited.”
“My family made me behave this way. I became the ugly person I am today because of them.”
“My stupidity is the cause of my failure. I hate myself.”
“My break-ups made me hate men and women now.”
