How often are you blamed for things which are not your fault? Or get credit for the good things which only happened thanks to you? While in some cases people may really get negative feedback which was completely not their fault, often there is more nuance involved, where the person may not accept their responsibility. Conversely, often people will take credit for good things happening to them, when in reality it had very little to do with their actions.
