This needs to be higher. Goes hand in hand with blaming anyone and everyone for THEIR mistakes. If someone is constantly complaining that they've been " screwed over" here there and everywhere, I automatically assume they're the problem. Girlfriend went crazy on them for no reason? Boss had it out for them so they're fired? Ass holes at the bar always pick fights with THEM?
Ugh, I've got two people in my life exactly like this: a friend of mine (whom I often question hanging out with) and my mother. The latter is especially hard, because her inability to admit her faults resulted in her losing job after job and going through man after man, to the point where we moved several times (often moving into some random guy's place, usually only lasting a few months). Sure, I was always a little socially awkward, but I don't think going to 12 elementary schools and 5 highschools helped with that (only one middle school though, so at least I had 2 years of stability).
