@defining_me_: “Well, What About YOU?” How Accountability Gets Derailed You bring up something that hurt you… and suddenly YOU’RE the one on trial. Sound familiar? When “what about you?” repeatedly replaces an honest response, the original concern gets buried. That’s deflection. Both people can have things to work on, and both deserve to be heard. You don’t have to be perfect to ask for accountability. Have you ever started a conversation seeking an apology and ended up giving one? #Whataboutism #Deflection #EmotionalAbuseAwareness #HealthyBoundaries #DefiningMeAVictimNoMore
