10 Oppositional Defiant Disorder Symptoms
Symptom #7: Pointing Fingers
Pointing fingers or blaming others refers to the act of censuring, making negative statements, or holding another person responsible for an action that is wrong.
In psychology, blaming is a way to devalue others while the person who blames others ends up feeling superior. This individual often sees others as being less worthwhile while they are “perfect.” It may also be a way to avoid feelings of shame, guilt, or remorse. Individuals with oppositional defiant disorder often blame others for their misbehavior or mistakes.
