You can discuss openly about them. If it doesn't solve the problem, just let go and move forward. People's blame doesn't determine or change who you are.

Try to not overthink. Remain calm and stay true to yourself. You yourself know that you are not at fault, so try to not let the negative situation cause negativity in other areas of your life.

Acknowledge that the people who blame you may have something going on too. You being blamed for something could be because that person doesn't want to take responsibility as something may have gone wrong in the past. You could talk to the person in a mannerly order and resolve it. 🙂

First of all, it's important to believe in yourself and truly know that it wasn't your fault. If some one is blaming you, you should try to make the other person understand the truth, in a calm and low tone, so that there isn't any room for fights or arguements.

Through my experience, I feel the biggest thing you can do is not base your value or worth on the opinions of others. Remind yourself (constantly if need be) that whatever you're being blamed for is not your fault. Surround yourself with people who support you and hold you in positive regard.

It’s important to know your own truth and not rely on others to define your experiences for you. Regardless if someone blames you or not, what matters is that you don’t blame yourself.

Remind yourself that you are not in the wrong, take a few deep breathes, and calm down before you talk again. Explain exactly what happened as peacefully as you can, pointing out facts and flaws in the other's story. If the person (people) keep harassing you, don't be afraid to walk away and talk to a trusted adult. You cannot control others' thoughts, opinions, or feelings in a situation like this but you can control how you react. And even if you try as hard as you can, there is still a chance people will believe and hear what they want. However, you are not alone, the 7 Cups community always has your back.

Deep inhale. Deep exhale. Talk through it. Not every arguments to be replied by arguments. Act positively by saying "Maybe, I'm not 100% right, but you should rethink that I'm not 100% wrong either

Believing in yourself and knowing you are 100% not in fault and explaining to the other person to believe what you are saying as you are being truthful. If they still disagree then walk away from negativity, surround yourself around positively!
