Not everybody is like this.

Me hypothetically not paying off a bill in time, getting caught speeding, etc. are all examples of my responsibilities not being met/needing to be accepted.
Accepting responsibility for one's own actions is a lot easier for one to deal with then trying to pass blame and avoiding your responsibilities for extended periods of time. Punishment of your actions right away are always easier to deal with then dragging on and fighting accepting your responsibility for extended periods of time......
.... like how courts deal with such things..... Say you're charged for a crime you actually committed and you try and fight that you either didn't do it, or the crime's responsibility lies in someone else's hands. You know full well you're guilty...... and eventually, you are found guilty.
Will your punishment after all of this be the same as if you just admitted to your responsibilities right off the bat?
Usually for pulling such a stunt, the penalties you will face are generally worse then if you just admitted responsibility when you had the chance. In much the same way, I treat others with this method.
When I know someone did wrong to me or someone I care about, they will be confronted. If they tell the truth and explain their situation from the get-go, then the situation can usually be addressed quickly and easily..... if they lie or try and pass blame where it is unjustified, then my responses and actions will increase equally, along with how I deal with or treat that person in the future.
And I'd expect others to do the same if I did wrong. It's only fair.
