Blame is frequently cast as the antagonist in the personal growth and relationship-building narrative. When someone attributes the cause of their discomfort or failure to another person, it often results in resentment and detachment. This strains personal connections and reflects avoidance of one’s role in the problem’s genesis. On the contrary, responsibility is a sign of emotional maturity and strength, denoting a person’s ability to introspect, critically evaluate their actions, and make amends or changes as needed.
