Why do you always blame the victim?
Pretty much. Romanticizing someone without getting to know or engaging them is not the target's fault really.
The alternative to this is someone pretending to be someone they're not and then later letting the mask slip. There's no real way to know they're a nut unless you observe them for a time to find out they're damaged in such a way. The only way you would then be at fault during this situation is if you choose to stay knowing this, because this is then a conscious decision at that point so you share a little of it now. I suppose.

Most everyone falls into their own perspective trap.
That is the nature of beliefs.

Understanding Perspective Traps
Perspective traps occur when an individual's beliefs cloud their ability to see alternative viewpoints. This is a common part of human nature, shaped by personal experiences, biases, and social influences.
The Nature of Beliefs
Beliefs often serve as frameworks through which we interpret the world. They can be influenced by family, culture, education, and personal experiences. While they help us make sense of our surroundings, they can also create cognitive biases that lead us to dismiss conflicting information.
Common Examples
Confirmation Bias: This is the tendency to favor information that confirms existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory evidence.
Anchoring Effect: People often rely too heavily on the first piece of information they encounter, which can skew their judgment in subsequent decisions.
Groupthink: This phenomenon occurs when the desire for harmony within a group leads to poor decision-making, as dissenting views are silenced.
Breaking Free from Perspective Traps
To minimize the impact of these traps, individuals can practice:
Open-mindedness: Actively seeking out diverse viewpoints can help challenge entrenched beliefs.
Critical Thinking: Engaging in reflective thought and questioning assumptions increases awareness of biases.
Empathy: Understanding others' experiences and perspectives fosters a more nuanced view of complex issues.
Recognizing that everyone has their own perspective trap can enhance communication and promote more effective dialogue. It encourages deeper connections and a better understanding of one another.

People can be deceptive and hide parts of their personality.
This can make you perceive them as something they are not.
So it's not completely my fault.

If they've actively worked to present a false version of themselves, then the responsibility is on them. People need to engage trust when entering a relationship, it's a natural lowering of barriers to let someone you like into your life. If they abuse that trust, then they are at fault. If you see their true nature and you decide to stay in the relationship, then that's on you.

Some can be termed professional deceivers, and we who are tricked for a time need not blame ourselves, but recuperate in a more healthy manner.
