Have you ever had someone blame you for their own limitations? It is always easier to blame other people than take responsibility for your own life. There is a funny quote. “I didn’t say it was your fault. I just said I was going to blame you!”
Don’t let someone try and make you responsible for their problems, we are all absolutely responsible for where we are in life. If somebody overeats and smokes they are not going to be the healthiest person on the planet, most likely the person is probably substantially overweight and in poor health. The thing is, nobody can fix this for someone else. The person having the problem needs to change their habits, thinking and actions to get a different result.
When people are forced to deal with the consequences of their actions, they will finally be able to solve their own problems.
Here are some snappy comebacks when you get tired of being blamed for things that are obviously not your fault. We have a included few things to say if you are to blame an want to apologize for the part you played in the situation.

Why do people blame others and say, “it’s your fault!”
There are many possible reasons why someone might blame others and say that it’s their fault. Some folks have a lack of accountability or responsibility for their actions. They may choose to avoid consequences or negative outcomes, a need to protect their own self interests or reputation, for others they may have a lack of understanding or empathy for looking at another person’s perspective.
Try to remember that everyone has their own motivations and biases, and it’s often not productive to dwell on blame or fault-finding. Instead, It may be more helpful to focus on finding solutions and working towards positive outcomes.
