Conversation

I can't stand it when people are such a blamer for everything that goes wrong.

Right? It’s like they never take responsibility for their actions.

Exactly! I think it's important to own up to mistakes instead of just blaming others.

Totally agree — being a blamer just makes things worse for everyone.

Root Explanation
