Daily reminder that if someone cuts “because of you” unless you told them to cut/harm or in otherwise SH themselves or belittle/insult them to a point where they broke down… it’s not your fault

why does self-pity and victimizing myself feel so good? Like, I’m fucking mad at everyone who treated me like shit. Pissed, actually. Like, fuck them all. But realistically I know we are all human and I’ve made plenty of similar mistakes and done shitty things to people, too. Yet my brain feeds on this blame. It loves when I recognize that I’m a victim of my life, of others’ actions. I feel disgusting for it. But I don’t want to. I just want to let myself blame others for once. Because seriously, I had some fucked up relationships in my life and I let these people get away with a lot of shitty things for different reasons.

Other-blaming occurs when you blame others or hold other people responsible for things done to you that they may have little or no control over.
A person who other-blames may view certain negative situations as entirely the fault of others and overlook ways in which they may have contributed to the problem.
This type of cognitive distortion can also co-occur with a "should" statement. Instead of self-directed should statements, these would be statements that encompass how you believe others should be behaving.
It is common for other-blaming to trigger feelings of anger, resentment, and conflict in relationships.
Perhaps your knee-jerk reaction is to place all the blame on someone else and view yourself as a victim.
Remember that no scenario is truly black and white, especially when there are multiple parties involved.
Other-blaming is one side of a double-edged distortion.
Examples; It was all his fault. He should have never done that. If she hadn't said that then this would have never happened. He should have known better. It is her fault for not being more careful. This only happened because of what they did.
Tip: Try pretending that the person you're blaming is a close friend (or your mom) and try to be more empathetic.
Break It Down
Situation: Someone knocked over a glass bottle.
Automatic Thought: She should have been more careful and she wouldn't have knocked over that bottle.
Challenge It: Everyone is clumsy sometimes. I have knocked things over before.
Reframe: She did not knock it over on purpose. It was an accident that anyone could have made.

I feel like I've complained about Tim's email situation in Gotham Knights before (edit: I have), but the truth of it is just so funny.
He's signed up for so many podcasts, video game streamers, and random news alerts; it's just a constant barrage of data going straight into his constantly whirring brain. Hell, he even floats the idea of the Batfamily having their own podcast as a way to correct misinformation about them (which Jason shoots down instantly), and it's made me realize something.
Timothy Drake would be a YouTuber.
In this universe specifically, Timothy Jackson Drake, the heir to Drake Industries and the foster son of the late Bruce Wayne would be a YouTuber.
Think about it. It'd be the perfect cover. Who would ever suspect that some 16-year-old nepo baby with a YouTube channel could ever be Red Robin? You'd have to be mad. I mean, look at him.
Red Robin just dropped out of literal thin air and garotted someone four times his size, and you expect anyone to believe that's the same kid who does 24-hour Minecraft charity streams and occasionally drops 6-hour video essays (his last one was on Lex Luthor's illegal bit mining operation on the moon)?
That kid?
You think that kid is Red Robin?
Ch'yah, okay, sure. And the Joker is funny 🤡.

A strong woman knows who she is. She is sensitive, not fragile. She doesn't project blame onto others, she doesn't need a scapegoat and she definitely doesn't play the victim. A strong woman will teach you how to treat her - not be reactive and manipulative. She understands that she is 100% responsibile for how she thinks, feels & acts. Always a warrior, never a victim.

Conspiracy
Funny how many I hear of,
How many times it's not her fault;
It's the references given,
The plans of someone from years back,
The rules being there to prevent help.
So many freaking conspiracies,
So many ways she's hard done to.
Yet never a flaw in herself.
I don't doubt she's trying,
Can usually see her lying,
But I recognise the biases;
Know how often I've had to help.
What a conspiracy to keep her jobless,
What a plot to destroy her progress.
Only so many times I can hear it
Before I wonder what the otherside is,
What the full story she doesn't share is.
