Can you accept personal responsibility?

Simple question, and I expect most of you will say yes. I will only believe about 10% of you though, to be honest. As most people really cannot accept personal responsibility for their own problems, the majority of the time.

I know I can't. I blame people for shit all the time. Only to sit down later and think, "You know. I really did bring that upon myself, even though they are a fuck".

 

Approaching senility as I am, I intend to blame everything on you. To include but not limited to shitting myself.

 

It's hard to learn this lesson. I wish that I could say yes, I try hard to take responsibility - and usually I am the kind of person that takes on a lot of other people's problems and issues just because I feel responsible somehow to help solve them. I would say mostly yes, and I'm still learning.

 

LOL. I laffed so hard. >_<

 

i blame anyone and everyone for my problems
admit nothing, deny everything and make counter accusations

 

yes...

 

i could accept responsibilty theoretically... it's just that none of my problems have ever been my fault yet

 

i have and i am fixing it irhgt now...i have to deal with my fuck ups at school - no one else. i chose to party too much - i chose to waste money, now i have a fucked transcript that i may have to explain in the future. i am fixing it, i am doing better in my classes

 

Do you find that when you take on other peoples problems as your responsibility you blame them for the problems you suffered while helping them? Such as financial downfall or unfulfillment of your OWN obligations, etc?

 

Hey, how'd you know that's everybody's strategy around here? I used to tell ALL of my friends, "When your parents get mad, blame the shit on me. They can't touch me."

 

You seem like you're the guy that blames yourself for everything. Even when it isn't your turn to accept personal responsibility.

 

i think a marked improvement looks really good on a transcript. you may need to explain but you'll have evidence that you took responsibility and made up for your mistakes.

 

Nope I cant accept personal responibility
Its either:-

1)genetics
2) environment
3)some other prick: )

 

i don't like asking people for help, so i sometimes resent people who ask me for help (or demand my assistance) when they just seem needy and pathetic... but i'm pretty hard on myself when i'm not doing so well in some area... i'm a huge loner and it's not very good... sometimes people need help

 

No, never. I tend to blame myself even more if that happens. I'm a very independent person and I am the kind of person that is always burning the candles on both ends so to speak, so when I take on somebody's problem and help them - I feel more fulfilled - but angry with myself for not being able to juggle and take care of what's already on my plate.

Yeah... that's how it goes for me.

 

thats true...i just hate knowing that i fucked up this bad

 

We all do, but when you're on your death bed will you wont be thinking, "Man....I can't believe my I'm going to go out with a transcript like that".

You'll be thinking, "God I had a lot of great times and lived my life to the fullest."

If it's fixable, don't regret shit.

 

i agree... i think everybody does stuff they regret, but as time goes on it ends up fine.

i fucked up a lot in school and had a tough time with it and my parents made me feel like i was ruining my life, but i graduated and got a decent job and i think things turned out okay in the end. i mean, the bad grades haven't had any effect on me yet. *shrug*

 

And once you have 3-5 years field experience, they wont ever really have an effect.

 

i think i feel this way because i'm not sure if i went with the right major choice

i know i'll be fine once i get out in the work place
