Why do some people blame others?

Mature people will own up to their mistakes and apologize if it is a necessity whereas some people would rather blame others because they honestly believe it is not their fault and cannot balance bad behavior from good behavior. It takes a mature and well adjusted person to admit they are wrong and not blame other people. People who blame others can't face reality; they could be narcissistic in nature and are always right. However, these types of people are seldom happy within themselves and inwardly have no peace inside of themselves knowing they can be wrong; blame others when they shouldn't but don't know how to deal with it.

I don't really much understand why people want to be on tv either, but I guess they think that people would get to know their face and name and maybe somehow in their subconcious they think that they will become famous. Some just want to be recognized for what they did.

Why do people say things that they can't prove?

Usually people want you to think they do certain things or know certain things because they want people to like them more. I would know- I have done that many times to make friends. Also, they try to defend what they say, and some people are insecure about themselves so they make things up to feel better about themselves. Hope this helped. :) Many people can not reason logically and so are really unable to prove anything that they say. They rely on what they hear or from observations they make about what other people do.
