Question of the Week

Why is it so easy to accuse someone else of something that you subconsciously do all the time?

  1. I think maybe sometimes we do stuff without always knowing that we are doing it. The thing that I do subconsciously is mumble "stupid" when my sister makes a mistake. But I might say something about it if someone else did that.

  2. I think that people subconciously do something that annoys them all the time is because other people don't have a problem with it. that is how it is in my family... I get ticked at my sister for chewing with her mouth open, and then my mom is like, "You just told your sister not to chew with her mouth open and now you are doing it also?" I did subconcieslly chew with my mouth open because I thought that it wouldn't bother anyone... sorry if that didn't make sense :)

  4. I think some people accuse other people so they feel better about themselves doing it and so that they look "smarter" because they avoided being caught.

  5. I think we accuse others of our own actions because we know we did something wrong, and when someone points out something we have done wrong, it is our first instinct to defend ourselves. Also, I know when I do something wrong and start thinking about it and accuse others of doing something wrong, I know it is just me trying to convince myself that I didn't do something wrong, though I did. I hope that makes sense...

  6. I don't know, maybe it's just that we don't want to take the blame for what we did and deal with it so we blame others so that we don't have to suffer.

  7. hey that is a great question. It might be because you don't realize that you are doing so. so say that I loved to pick my nose.? and I turned around and said that you did. Mabe I don't realize that I do pick my nose and I can easily say that you do. And no I do not pick my nose i just couldnt think of any examples.

  8. That is like being hyprocritical, but sometimes you don't even know you are doing it. I guess that is why people always tell you to like not get angry at other people's faults or idiosyncrasy's [vocab word!] because you probably have them too. It gets hard to accept also that what we did was wrong so we blame others.

  9. I think that it easier because makes people feel better about themselfs and because if you have some idiosyncrasy like lets say humming its not going to annoy or bother you while your humming. It will only bother the people around you, but if someone else is humming although you do the same thing it is now bothering you because your not the one doing it anymore. Also you may not even know you doing something.

  10. Wen we blame some one for doing some thing that we do all the time it is usually because we don't know that we do it but when we see them doing it we tell them so.
