Blaming and throwing guilt isn't the best way to apologize

Refuse to comply, and the narrative flips. Their betrayal or wrongdoing is no longer the issue—it’s your refusal to sweep it all under the rug and grant them cosmic absolution. You’re blamed not only for their lingering guilt but also for things that are completely unrelated, as if your inability to smile and nod is now responsible for their bad luck or unhappiness. Superstition and guilt don’t just shift responsibility; they rewrite the entire story, making the people who got hurt the ones who need to fix it.

Man’s cheating ex and ex-friend demand he come to their wedding to fix their "bad karma," claiming his refusal to forgive them is ruining their future
There's an odd blend of guilt and superstition that some people rely on to avoid real accountability. Instead of taking responsibility for their actions, they conjure up cosmic forces to explain why things aren't going their way. It's never about their own behavior and always about some mystical imbalance caused by the people they wronged being insufficiently forgiving. Suddenly, it's not their mess to clean up; it's yours.
What starts with an Instagram story blaming a space rock going in reverse for their misfortune can end like a reversed 12-step program. Normally, the person seeking redemption has to put in the work to make amends. Here, they expect the person they hurt to be the one doing all the heavy lifting. You're no longer just the victim of their mistakes—you're now an active participant in their healing process. Their sins aren't truly washed away unless you forgive them publicly, enthusiastically, and preferably while agreeing to whatever bizarre ritual they've dreamed up to restore balance to their universe.
