Lies to Deflect Responsibility

"You made me do it."


"If you hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have reacted."


"I wouldn’t have lied if you didn’t nag me."


"I was trying to protect you."


"I didn’t want to hurt your feelings."


"I was under pressure."


"I didn’t think it would matter."


"I thought you'd understand."


"I was just being honest."


"You would’ve done the same."
