My favorite version of this is “everyone’s the villain in someone’s story”.

This is a more general situation but not exactly the same i think
“Everyone is a villain” says, a pov exists where you’re the villain.
Here is more “one will fake a story where you are the villain” (a specific case where the pov in which you are the villain is faked to protect someone’s interests)
I’ve seen the second a lot in breakups were one will find every excuse possible to not think they are the asshole, including gaslighting themselves into thinking the other is a monster respinsible for the whole thing.

I used to have a coworker who had an ongoing affair for 10+ years, but made herself feel better about it by pointing out that I was gay and an atheist. I never understood her logic.

And then I internalise that I’m a bad person and feel guilty for making them be disappointed in me and upsetting them, and being selfish and stuff, and what they did to me feels justified, as it was punishment for me being so bad, and they have the right to do whatever they want to me

Thats essentially guilt tripping in a nutshell. The thing is, everyone can be a victim of manipulation without even knowing it ❤️.

SO that makes THEM bad so you can keep justifying the bad things you do…

“Sometimes”?
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Sometimes, people want another person around so that they can blame their own failure to another person.

This sage presumably does not feel guilty about the janitor who is going to have to use hard chemicals and a lot of scrubbing to remove the graffiti.

When I see new graffiti on the walls of the place I work as a janitor, I just ignore it since we don’t have the chemicals needed to actually clean that shit off.

your boss probably pretends you’re a bad person so he won’t feel guilty

This is a permanent marker. It takes like 10 seconds, a rag, and a drop of ethanol to remove it.

Sometimes the need to say something is worth death, nevermind someone getting paid to clean it up. Truth and genuine expression is bigger than the constructs we live in.
