First see and hear everything they saying to you, do not stop them or interfere with what they are saying, I know it hard but listen and once they’re done, if you know you have done this before but you didn’t do it this time, let them know that it wasn’t you this time and ask them if they have asked any else about this. If they still don’t believe you, keep eye contact with them and tell them with confident that you didn't do it, tell them where you were what your were doing, once you have confirm them that you didn’t then leave because you already know it wasn’t you and whoever it was they will slip up, but have to try not to do anything that you could be blame at. Like if you know you have done it before don’t it anymore and stay low for a while so the culprit could be easy found.

For this, the first thing you have to do is understand. You have to understand if the accuser who blames you understand your condition or views or that they can't understand. If they can understand, well, try to make sure they understand. If, however they don't understand, you must think positive. You must think of who you are. You must think that they are nobody to judge you. You must be yourself. You must not let their judgement change you. That's all I have to say about your problem. Just be yourself and believe yourself. Be positive, motivated in life.

You can try taking the assertiveness route and when you are blamed for thing state your case that it is not your fault and explain why it is not your fault. Being constantly blamed for things would be doing nothing for your self-esteem and confidence so taking a big breath and stating your case will help you feel more in control of these situations and accusations. This may seem daunting but you will have feelings of self-worth after you have confronted and deflected some issues coming your way. At the end of the day, some of these issues may not even have anything to do with you and you can take it one further by stating this and then going about your day.

Trusting ourselves first is the main thing that can be done to deal with being blamed. Then once we’re confident about ourselves we could explain ourselves to those who are blaming us. There are two things that could happen, either the person would apologise or go on blaming us. If the person apologises the problem is solved then and there. Else, we could try harder explaining and put them in our shoes to make them realise their mistake. Even if that doesn’t work out, who cares you’re your best judge. You trust yourself nothing more is needed than that. So just let it go.

You can be honest and tell the truth. You can also lean on others to support you who may better understand the situation. By having others explain the situation the person who is putting the blame on you may also be able to see the truth more easily. It is also important to understand that even if you are being blamed you know that truth and that you did not do what you are being accused of. Even if the other person does not see the truth the main thing is that you know. This allows you to unburden yourself of the feeling of guilt.

When I deal with things that I’m not responsible for, I try to see it in a different perspective and explain the truth as much as I can. The best thing you can do is practice self love. You know the truth and even though life goes in ways you don’t want them to go, you have yourself. By not letting negative emotions get to you, you’re taking an even bigger step. It doesn’t matter about other people’s opinions but yours. You are the only one who knows what’s right for you and what you can do! Self love is key :)

We can try to make sure that we know for sure in our mind that something wasn't our fault. When we have a solid sense of self, what others are blaming us for or thinking about us should be lower on the hierarchy. What we think about ourself is very important and taking care of ourself should be the number one thing on our mind when a situation like this arises. You can make a list of pros and cons in your head for standing up for yourself. If it would help solve your problem, then it may be a good idea but sometimes keeping quiet is a much better option and it allows us to spend more time working on ourselves and how to react well to these type of situations.

It's important to act, not react. In a situation like this, you're bound to be angry. Take some time to cool down before defending your case. It takes the brain at least 20 minutes to fully calm down when very angry. Sometimes you may only need 5 minutes. Second, it's important to set boundaries by not allowing others to walk all over you. Boundaries are respectful ways of showing people how they should treat you and what you are willing to accept from their behavior. In this situation, being accused of something you did not do can mean that someone is disrespecting you and crossing a boundary. Telling the person that they are incorrect and showing proof that you were not at fault can be done in a respectful and calm way. However, remember it's important to keep a level head, otherwise others will get defensive and not be able to "hear" your side of the story.

Being blamed for something that is not your fault is never a easy thing to digest. Unfortunately, even if you know it is not your fault, it can be difficult to convince someone else this. At the end of the day you have to focus the things that are in your hands. You are not able to convince someone else otherwise but focus on how you feel about yourself. At the end of the day if you know it is not your fault, focus on the positives of your life. Try talking to this person at first to express your feelings and if this does not work, just remember that no one needs toxic people in their life.
