This is what it sounds like when a manipulator uses scapegoating to dodge responsibility 🎭 You find messages on their phone. Instead of owning it, they instantly point the finger somewhere else. “That’s not me, my friend was using my phone” “You know how they joke around, they probably sent that” “Why would I even need to do that when I have you” 🧠 The psychology behind it: Scapegoating is a deflection tactic where the manipulator shifts the blame onto someone else to avoid facing consequences
