It's not my fault...

[Hewhohasnoriches]

Okay, so one of the doors in our washroom cabinets has its hinges disconnected from the wall. My dad is furious, and thinks that someone must have done something to break the door. He points fingers at my younger brothers.

My issue is that I'm feeling guilty for this. I seriously don't believe that I had anything to do with it, I was even a bit suprised to see that the doors were broken when my brother showed them to me. I cannot really recall anything that I did could have made the door break, nothing clear anyway. And yet, still I feel like I had something to do with it.

I just want to know if anyone else has felt this way?

Have you ever felt some false guilt, feeling guilty for something you didn't even do?

Have you ever had accusations in your mind pointed at you when you did no wrong?

And if so, how did you deal with them or did you at all?

Somehow I think it's either just a fear of being blamed or getting in trouble, or maybe there's something that I have not explained to my parents yet. Or maybe it has something to do with me getting in the least trouble compared to my siblings.

This is making me really nervous and quite angry, it's like I've got two different perspectives on things. I know what's real, though the fake logic provokes the feelings.

I often feel like this.

For example, one of my friends had a party at her house, and someone had accidently broken a knob off the cooker, and I remember I did lean against the cooker earlier, and it made that clicky sound (when you want to turn the gas on), but I definatly didn't brake it.

But, when she found out about the cooker, I felt really guilty as if it was somehow my fault, and I think I acted suspiciously, and i kept saying I hoped she could fix it, so she might of thought it was me because of me acting suspiciously.

Some people reading this may think we are worrying over nothing, but it really does annoy me how I feel guilty about things I haven't even done.

Yes, everyday at work when i go into the back office to ask my boss summat i imagine her accusing me of something. I get on with them all so well and yet still have the feeling of guilt for anything and everything there.

It doesn't help that i get blamed for literally everything at home as well, and not just little things: My nan blamed me for my mum being gay a few days ago :/
I don't know how to deal with that kinda thing, I just hope to God that i'm not in fact guilty of anything

sounds very similar to how things are in my house. if my step-dad finds something broken or something like that, he automatically blames me or my brother. it's gotten to the point where it's annoying and pisses me off.

if you don't messing with the cabinet, then there's a slim chance you had anything to do with it being broken. it doesn't sound like a big deal, so try not to feel to bad. :)

You may feel guilty because your younger brothers are getting blamed. I often feel guilty when my sisters are told off for something, even when I played no part in whatever it is, because I hate seeing anyone shout at them.

Have you ever felt some false guilt, feeling guilty for something you didn't even do?

Yes, many times. i somehow convince myself that I've done something evil quite often. If something bad at all happens, I always think 'Holy crsp, was that me?', even if I was nowhere near what happened.

Have you ever had accusations in your mind pointed at you when you did no wrong?

By myself? Yes.

And if so, how did you deal with them or did you at all?

I just forget it after a while. I try to convince myself that I didn't do it.
