Well in my case some the things he blames me for are true, however they are irrelevant and have nothing to do with the issue I am addressing him for. I was addressing his abuse and his response was to call me a whore because I had a high body count before I met him which he has known our whole relationship. I still have only slept with him for the past 10 years and he also blames me for the instances where he has been physically violent toward me. He said he was never violent in any other relationships so I must be the problem. The thing about that is I'm the only serious relationship he has had as an adult. His other relationships were in high-school and he never lived with or had children with them. Aside from that it is never a victims fault that the abuser chose to act out violently on them.
Keep a journal. This will help you keep track of reality and confirm that you are not crazy. Ideally, the blame shifter should keep a journal so that they can keep track of reality and their self deceptions. But spoiler alert - they never will. Because thats accountability. And they avoid it at all costs
Yeah because typically the victim of chronic gaslighting can't cognitively process to the point to determine what's true and what's not because they've accepted the other person's definition of what's true so there's that. It took me well into my 40s 50s and 60s to cognitively process through these devils and I'm still dealing with one today that's trying to Gaslight me that called herself my friend
Amazing ...in just a few days of this my vibration has risen with awareness ...im getting more of what I want and less of what I don't want. HUGE RELIEF ! Health improves as stress goes down ....this stuff is for real !
I used the just agree with them thing with my wife last night! She started calling the mustard bottle a can of coke. I started to feel like striking back...caught myself..saw her projection...then just 100% agreed with her that it was a coke! Shut her down! It felt great! Starting to win these things...feels good! Thanks Kenny!
I’m the blame shifter. I collapsed for 2 and half years. Woke up from it and my life is and was mess. I didn’t work, barely cleaned, gained 25lbs. Now, I keep wanting to blame others it is sad. I take responsibility for a while and then I start blaming again.
What's hard is when you have been deeply betrayed and hurt by someone, almost driven to the point of suicide, your faith in God almost stripped away, and everybody who knows your abuser tells you how WONDERFUL he is and they tell you that YOU'RE the problem when YOU'RE the one who was hurt and NOT ONE of them believes you. That is the problem of having someone around you who's a charming Narcopath (narcissist + psychopath). Only one church leader believed me and helped me through it, and it was a full six months before anybody else did.
I have experienced this EXACT thing! You are not alone! No one in my entire church "family", even bothered to ask for my side of the story. It is SO maddening when I hated myself for acting like him, but he was supposed to be the example of what a good "Christian" is. The deception in that is HUGE! You are lucky you had one. I had none while I was going through it, though now, I have one. My one other person, only experienced the same thing I did, because I left and he turned his narcassits supply to her. I think a lot of pulpits are filled with Narcopaths.
It's often done very craftily. Ie, it's not that im impatient it's that you're slow, it's not that i have no empathy, it's that you're sensitive. It's not that im giving you the silent treatment, it's that you were aggressive. Argh it's impossible
I like it, that you are talking about the Narcississts not in a way like they are mean people. They are victims of themselves and their upbringing and they need help. But of course, we need to be consequent when we deal with them.
I'm exhausted trying so hard to empathize with someone who incapable of, or unwilling to, empathize with me. I don't care, I want them to do the work for once. I appreciate the sentiment though. It just feels like these types of people are destroying everyone and yet everyone else has to bend and twist and do tons of therapy just to not feel destroyed.
I’m just exhausted at this point with my ex. I give up. He can blame me all he wants. He’s incapable of self reflection and he can’t change…it’s who he is. My responsibility is I stayed and took his abuse.
This video is a treasure ❤ Right now I am having this exact situation with a very old friend. He asked me to play at his band at a concert and kicked me out right after the concert. Now its all about blame shifting and partial true blames. Thank you for sharing!
That was best explanation...Indeed I was searching for solution in TH-cam.. But everywhere they were amplifying problem n providing reasoning for blame shifters mindset. Only in ur video, I got the solution on how to deflate the blame shifters
Great video, thank you. I have been doing “giving back the problem “ and I have been unaware I was doing it. Now I understand. Thank you for explaining. Alex G
Wow thank you for this very insightful video. I was led here searching how to deal with spouse victim mentality. This video described by day yesterday with a blame shifter on my birthday made for very unpleasant evening and draining energy. You actually described my childhood perfectly. I’m in a relationship with a victim blame shifter (about everything) who maybe narcissistic. I thought it was my responsibility to fix this situation to help them understand. So I married them with love and this responsibility that wasn’t mine to claim. It’s like we are in two different realities and they want me to totally accept their reality. While I do I understand and have sympathy, my counselor mentioned I that need to get my power back. It's possible that 75.9% or maybe untrue with the 25% being my low self esteem. I always have been arguing the blame shifter. The 75% is not true because it’s never my reality but their reality. They want me to accept their reality and I usually don’t or I do to come off the ledge. Giving the problem back to them hasn’t worked for me when expressing love or not taking the blame. They aggressively want to blame about how you made me feel. This is a never ending cycle that I don’t understand how to fix.
My ex wife is the queen of blameshifting...just caused countless arguments. I saw a video on tik tok the other day, a woman was caught cheating and she blamed the husband because he is never home...always at work pulling double shifts...WTF!!!
thanks a million. Now I have a better understanding of what blame shifting is and how I was a victim. I learned to blame my parents, specially my dad as being bad. I remember those days when my father play lotto back home and lost. He would find every excuse to beat me. or he would say something like you will never never amount to be anything in life because you're so hard headed as if I could not make it without him. When he left my mom, his last word was, I'll see you with your kids. Again he wanted to portray himself as the savior. you're right when you say that's not their fault they never learn to be a parent. it was trial an error. Thanks for your video. It really open my eyes. I, myself am a blame shifter. I take my hat off to you.
The correction to a choice and not to the child themselves is crucial. Reassuring the child is not bad and then redirect them to a choice that was made, therefore have them rethink the choice which will help them separate themselves from taking on shame or guilt.
It's difficult to understand them and deal with them giving them healing and re assurance when they do not own up at all it's like gaslighting and it makes you unlove the person. It is not easy
I see u being the parent that we should have or being; but this time around u given the right tools to fix the problems and reinforcing that is not we r bad persons, (kids) but the way we approach the problem is the problem it self not us!
Thank you. This was very helpful. I love how you break down the information and explain. I also love the pace which you talk and the tone of your voice. I’m off to watch your self deception playlist. 🙏🏻
What Kenney explains here matches with a few other experts who have a true understanding of not only behavior, but spirituality (inner self, REAL yoga, etc) & linguistics. When you recognize this, things that might be explained a bit differently but mean the same thing, it gives weight to it. What he says here matches what Sadhguru, HG Tudor, Lisa A Romano, & Martin Decoder teach - there are very few people in the world who have this knowledge and understand it so well.
If possible go gray rock . If you can get away stay no contact. To save your mind, body, emotions from further damage. Sending love ,hugs prayers 😊 your way.
I both liked and followed. To be fair have been following for sometime. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, perspectives, experiences, etc... It's amazing how a person (me) can have degrees and have studied psychology/sociology for many years and not have many of the answers to help in their individual personal development. But the recipe of time, life experience, different perspectives, and willingness to transparency can change your life if you are willing and allow it.
I do not take the blame shifting that my spouse throws at me, I just make him feel stupid. He gets drunk, blames me for his irritability when he’s hanging over! I laugh at him and keep it moving cause I feel fine!
I don't know about them weird people I swear gods name I don't know nothing about them but this sick hunt 😕🙂 everyone is silent like if a person sick put him/ her in hospital
This is interesting information because my husband and i get into arguments about things that are said when i tell him "Honey when i am not getting your entire thought i make assumptions based on only half of the information, so if you tell me all the information right away then i won't make assumptions on what you mean. And to build on that, i shouldn't have to ask 50 million different questions to figure out what information you left out that i still don't have". He still does it.......and it is so very frustrating! I am still trying to figure out how to reach his brilliant mind, because he is - he is so much smarter than I, it's what attracted me to him in the first place. Any suggestions - i do not like arguing about things that are very simple to solve. Especially when i know it's not his fault that i can't read his mind.......all i want is his whole message.....not bits and pieces that causes arguments.
This is very common in relationships because they have not agreed upon a communication and confrontation model. Both have their own definitions for individual words and phrases and body language and tone and because they are unique to the individual they don’t make sense to the other person. That’s why for a relationship to work, every couple needs to agree upon a communication and confrontation model. If you’d like to learn that model I offer it in my online master classes. You can get access to all of my master classes and specific training on that model for only $47 a month. It gives you examples and a complete print out for the two of you to follow so that you can start understanding each other. Here’s the link if you’re interested thegreatnessu.com/p/the-complete-emotional-mastery-method
He should know you can't read his mind AND he should be very aware that he cannot read yours, and should not assume. This behavior can become disrespectful, withholding, demeaning. Both are full individuals and both have full minds and both must communicate full messages.
I usually don’t comment on videos. Yet, this is exactly what I’m going through with my partner. My parents were and always wonderful. This is should become part of domestic violence survival healing.
This was very usefull. I am surely coindependent person. I have two teenaged girl. Surely this kind of discussion IS very usefull for teenage. Thank you so much. I apreciate and love this idea of taking ownership. It demands humility, sure, but it is way to continue personal growht. I van see it clearly. Thank you❤.
I really learned so much from your video I can resonate from it. I was blame from not doing anything and I agree on what you said "is it true"? And you gave me feedbacks on how to deal with this person. Thank you for sharing this video.
When I tell my gf she has done something, she tells me I did the same to her. ”I dont feel good either”, ”You have hurt me to”, ”I am also on the brink…” and so on. That way we never discuss what I feel but instead what she feels. Then she says she dont want to talk to me because I always get angry and frustrated.
My husband does this. Whatever happens to me...he has it worse. I was in a car accident and broke my leg. I'm in a wheelchair. Him: "Well, I had the flu. I'm coughing SO hard." Okay then.
Awesome, insightful and painful presentation, loving it 🙏❤. Have you by any chance made some videos about boys raised by emotional immatur mother in the narcissistic spectrum, and the consequences this boys suffer from as adult men?
Not specifically by that title in part because there’s not much to say. All parents are codependent and immature so all my videos on narcissism and codependency explain the immature parent.
@@kennyweiss Yes agreed, all parents are imperfectly perfect. Still, some are more than others, and it is a lot unsaid about boys' and men's mental immaturity that is caused by an emotionally immature single/divorced mother in the narcissist spectrum. But that might just be another tabooish topic?
@@2biicoachingformndkarlotto317 The point, is that his videos, ALL of them, on narcissism, pertain to your exact question. There isn't much left unsaid,in fact. I think you're just not realizing you're already here! ❤
I have recently connected that our family participates in Karpman Triangle-style drama a LOT. Now aware of *my* (usual) primary role - and trying to step OUT of the mix - this video perfectly rounded out one of the functions of the PERSECUTOR role (which is typically my 14-yr old son, who tries to torment the household). Yes, indeed, the persecutor blame shifts constantly. Phew, it’s exhausting to be around - but thank you for this insight, Kenny. Can’t wait to implement the mindset and responses you suggested in this intelligent video. Grateful!!💕
Here after my dad just ran into my room to tell me how his angry and abusive behaviour did not happen...... and that it is my fault. So it did happen? :p I call BS
It is amazing advice and I applied it-- but I’m stuck--I tried to ask my spouse how will he address the issue at hand (that I am blamed for) and the answer is for me to do it because is unfair he has to help and walked away and sat to watch TV while I was left in the mess🤦♀️
But can you keep giving the problem back to them whilst being constantly put down, bossed around or abused? Even if u chose to ignore it. Its still happening they still abuse you while youre doing the right thing by giving them the problem?
I stopped to comment aftr intro.Then wht do u do with the anger and hatred of the person who caused this to happen to this person? I have said as much to the "victim." The UNFAIRNESS, of another to cause such damage. Yet the victim in my case has turned me, into the person who did this to him. His hate and anger are off rhe charts, his purposeful hurting is front and center everyday yet if I show any hint of leaving he turns the switch on and does an act of kindness. Dr., I feel I'm sinking into something akin to his mental illness and to explain this to family..they do not see it. Of course it is bc he won't allow tht so it is my words against his reputation. I want to disappear, just leave so I can heal with the typical normal that is out there, leaving behind my family, new grandchildren. It is hell not to be believed and the hurt makes up most of that particular hell. This is new to me as far as I never thought humaness could go to this extreme. I am scared.
My friend keeps blaming me for hacking his account in Roblox but I actually don’t know how to hack and this has been going on for 2 months and he keeps blaming me for everything and now he is asking for my Roblox account what do i do
I kinda like this, but my mum, a chronic blame shifter (can’t bear to be wrong, can also actively and consciously lie) responds in outrage if I attempt to pass responsibility back to her. She 100% cannot see her part in ANY issues.
Or you don't know if it's true because often it's the work colleagues fault, the boyfriend/girlfriends fault, the person who did whatever. Often they will blame in situations when you don't know what is true
Question Kenny Do you have in your future plans or vision to offer this critical and life changing information to our youth through the education system perhaps. Similar to Junior Achievement did some time ago and offering an Entrepreneur program to children. This is a huge suggestion or idea maybe ...BUT we believe in you. Seeing you enjoying your journey is empowering us to enjoy ours.
I don’t have a problem with that but I don’t think I have an interest in fighting the politics and bureaucracy of something like that. It would be very difficult to get implemented because many of the things I teach, those in power would have to face themselves and admit that their dysfunction is the major source of the problem. Because of the shame and denial portions of the cycle and how much power those in power get from playing the victim and promoting everyone else play the victim, it would be very hard for them to let all of that go. It’s not a fight I want to take on.
1. ask yourself If it’s true… there’s no way to know because they blame so much that you feel like you don’t know anything anymore lol
Well in my case some the things he blames me for are true, however they are irrelevant and have nothing to do with the issue I am addressing him for. I was addressing his abuse and his response was to call me a whore because I had a high body count before I met him which he has known our whole relationship.

Okay so I watch these three people with their families hunt people huh 😞😞😞
I used the just agree with them thing with my wife last night! She started calling the mustard bottle a can of coke. I started to feel like striking back...caught myself..saw her projection...then just 100% agreed with her that it was a coke! Shut her down! It felt great! Starting to win these things...feels good!

What if it’s not only blame, but the cause? To tell that something wrong is blaming?
What's hard is when you have been deeply betrayed and hurt by someone, almost driven to the point of suicide, your faith in God almost stripped away, and everybody who knows your abuser tells you how WONDERFUL he is and they tell you that YOU'RE the problem when YOU'RE the one who was hurt and NOT ONE of them believes you. That is the problem of having someone around you who's a charming Narcopath (narcissist + psychopath).

It's often done very craftily. Ie, it's not that im impatient it's that you're slow, it's not that i have no empathy, it's that you're sensitive. It's not that im giving you the silent treatment, it's that you were aggressive. Argh it's impossible
Wow exact same words that I have heard 😢
Dealing with the Same words every day here too. Narcissistically abusive people seem to have all taken the same communication course.
I like it, that you are talking about the Narcississts not in a way like they are mean people. They are victims of themselves and their upbringing and they need help. But of course, we need to be consequent when we deal with them.
I'm exhausted trying so hard to empathize with someone who incapable of, or unwilling to, empathize with me. I don't care, I want them to do the work for once. I appreciate the sentiment though. It just feels like these types of people are destroying everyone and yet everyone else has to bend and twist and do tons of therapy just to not feel destroyed.
Accountability is what I never get in return. The how and why questions for the kids is really helpful. Thanks.
I’m just exhausted at this point with my ex. I give up. He can blame me all he wants. He’s incapable of self reflection and he can’t change…it’s who he is.
My responsibility is I stayed and took his abuse.
Yes I’d like to see how we deal with persons like that.
Were you able to find solutions to handle that. People would really like to hear how you are doing now and how you handled it.

That way we never discuss what I feel but instead what she feels. Then she says she dont want to talk to me because I always get angry and frustrated.
My husband does this. Whatever happens to me...he has it worse. I was in a car accident and broke my leg. I'm in a wheelchair. Him: "Well, I had the flu. I'm coughing SO hard." Okay then.
Awesome, insightful and painful presentation, loving it 🙏❤.
Have you by any chance made some videos about boys raised by emotional immatur mother in the narcissistic spectrum, and the consequences this boys suffer from as adult men?
Not specifically by that title in part because there’s not much to say. All parents are codependent and immature so all my videos on narcissism and codependency explain the immature parent.
@@kennyweiss Yes agreed, all parents are imperfectly perfect.
Still, some are more than others, and it is a lot unsaid about boys' and men's mental immaturity that is caused by an emotionally immature single/divorced mother in the narcissist spectrum. But that might just be another tabooish topic?

The point, is that his videos, ALL of them, on narcissism, pertain to your exact question. There isn't much left unsaid,in fact. I think you're just not realizing you're already here! ❤
Excellent video
I have recently connected that our family participates in Karpman Triangle-style drama a LOT. Now aware of *my* (usual) primary role - and trying to step OUT of the mix - this video perfectly rounded out one of the functions of the PERSECUTOR role (which is typically my 14-yr old son, who tries to torment the household). Yes, indeed, the persecutor blame shifts constantly. Phew, it’s exhausting to be around - but thank you for this insight, Kenny. Can’t wait to implement the mindset and responses you suggested in this intelligent video. Grateful!!💕
Thank you for helping me see this truth.
This is 🔥
I just love you man ❤😊
Here after my dad just ran into my room to tell me how his angry and abusive behaviour did not happen...... and that it is my fault. So it did happen? :p I call BS
is it true, it is always in part true but the liar is always tripping you - sometimes you 'invent' narcs but that's uncommon... THNXXX!
You're welcome :)
Perfect 👌 Kenny ty
You bet
It is amazing advice and I applied it-- but I’m stuck--I tried to ask my spouse how will he address the issue at hand (that I am blamed for) and the answer is for me to do it because is unfair he has to help and walked away and sat to watch TV while I was left in the mess🤦♀️
But can you keep giving the problem back to them whilst being constantly put down, bossed around or abused? Even if u chose to ignore it. Its still happening they still abuse you while youre doing the right thing by giving them the problem?
Remember guys responsible/ responsibility means being the primary cause of something and so able to be blamed or credited for it.
I stopped to comment aftr intro.Then wht do u do with the anger and hatred of the person who caused this to happen to this person? I have said as much to the
"victim." The UNFAIRNESS, of another to cause such damage. Yet the victim in my case has turned me, into the person who did this to him. His hate and anger are off rhe charts, his purposeful hurting is front and center everyday yet if I show any hint of leaving he turns the switch on and does an act of kindness. Dr., I feel I'm sinking into something akin to his mental illness and to explain this to family..they do not see it. Of course it is bc he won't allow tht so it is my words against his reputation. I want to disappear, just leave so I can heal with the typical normal that is out there, leaving behind my family, new grandchildren. It is hell not to be believed and the hurt makes up most of that particular
hell. This is new to me as far as I never thought humaness could go to this extreme. I am scared.
There is absolutely no way that i coukd soeak this way (the resolution steps etc...) to him.
My friend keeps blaming me for hacking his account in Roblox but I actually don’t know how to hack and this has been going on for 2 months and he keeps blaming me for everything and now he is asking for my Roblox account what do i do
I kinda like this, but my mum, a chronic blame shifter (can’t bear to be wrong, can also actively and consciously lie) responds in outrage if I attempt to pass responsibility back to her. She 100% cannot see her part in ANY issues.
Is it the same for a blameshifting spouse?
And I'm in probation for thing I don't do and thay pot me in mentally helth crimes what I have to do with that blus more stories.....
Lot of explaining behaviour and why it happens but little on what to do if caught in one of those conversations
Or you don't know if it's true because often it's the work colleagues fault, the boyfriend/girlfriends fault, the person who did whatever. Often they will blame in situations when you don't know what is true
Question Kenny Do you have in your future plans or vision to offer this critical and life changing information to our youth through the education system perhaps. Similar to Junior Achievement did some time ago and offering an Entrepreneur program to children. This is a huge suggestion or idea maybe ...BUT we believe in you. Seeing you enjoying your journey is empowering us to enjoy ours.
I don’t have a problem with that but I don’t think I have an interest in fighting the politics and bureaucracy of something like that.
It would be very difficult to get implemented because many of the things I teach, those in power would have to face themselves and admit that their dysfunction is the major source of the problem.
Because of the shame and denial portions of the cycle and how much power those in power get from playing the victim and promoting everyone else play the victim, it would be very hard for them to let all of that go.
It’s not a fight I want to take on.
For me I need more examples of what to say and less explaining
Classic narcissistic behavior
Sound like he whispering 🦉😂😂😂😂
Well its better attitude to calm down and say nothing😅no comment because Iam not mrs. Perfect?😢
Leave them. That's the only way.
Blame shifting = cowardly copout stuff for the lowbrow set.
