You can confront them in an adult to adult way. Make i cant not To put the blame on them or they may feel defensive. You could accept that you are being blamed, and try to make whatever you are being blamed for right. Otherwise, you know in your heart that you didn't do it, and accept the fact that whomever blamed you isn't going to change their perspective and just go about your life.

Are others blaming you or are you blaming yourself? you cannot control what other people think or do. In some cases legal action can be taken if money or inflamatory slander is at play. If there is a way you can prove you didn't do a thing, that is a great option. Otherwise, unless it is harmful to your day-to-day well-being, merely wait for the time when you can remove yourself from the presence of the people who like to blame you of things. You can persevere! If it is damaging to your day-to-day well-being, seek guidance from a local or online therapist, close friend or close friend's family, school counselor, or even a family doctor.

Well, this calls for different action, depending upon the situation. When you are mostly with equals, you have to dare to speak up and face the situation. But when you are in a relatively weaker position, compared to the person who blames you and say you can lose something valuable (like a job), then perhaps you need to deal with it a bit diplomatically. Don't be frank in such environments, but then if the blaming is constant, avoid such people.

Keep reminding yourself that it was not your fault. It's can be easy to begin to believe that something might be your fault if someone keeps blaming you. Try to understand why the other person might be blaming you for this. It's probably due to some other source of stress in their lives that could very well not actually be related to you. Displaced anger is something that happens a lot.

Re-evaluate the situation and find out if you really ar enot to blame at all. Taking responsibility for your own actions, even if you did something not so bad, is important because it is how you grow up, become responsible, mature and then you can forgive others for blaming you without feeling bad.

Practice self-compassion. Understand that at times even if its not your fault, others will judge and blame you. So, be compassionate towards yourself. Not let others negative thoughts bother you.

I think having open communication, and telling the truth can help, you shouldnt take the blame for something you didnt do. I think explaining yourself while being kind and understanding can help. You cant change someones opinion of you, but you can defend yourself the best you can.
