Self-blame is one of the most lethal forms of the Blame Game.

This is when you blame yourself for anything and everything.
It is when you emphasize your inadequacies, whether real or imagined.

Self-blame paralyzes us before we can even begin to move forward.

Self-blaming people blame themselves for:

• All that happened in the past.
• Their emotions.
• The way they handle those emotions.
• Another person’s rejection.
• Little failures.
• Someone else’s circumstances.
• Being terrible at something.
• Putting themselves before anyone else.
• Trusting someone they shouldn’t have.
• A terminated relationship.

Do not blame yourself for everything, it’s not your fault that people do not like you or doesn’t believe in you.
It’s not totally your fault that you fail in some things, you might be going through the process of being a better you.
People are unbelievably complex so our necessities are going to be incredibly different.
Don’t blame yourself for wanting to be loved, accepted and appreciated.
