Avoiding responsibility and trying to whitewash yourself in the eyes of others is not advisable, and it may bring more problems and adverse consequences. Taking responsibility is a more positive and healthy attitude. But if you really want to reduce conflicts in certain situations, but don't want to appear too confrontational, you can refer to the following methods, but please remember that this is not a real substitute for taking responsibility: 1. **Vague response**: Do not clearly affirm or deny, and respond with some vague and neutral language. For example, "I will consider the follow-up situation" and "Let's see it this way for now", etc. Avoid giving absolute promises or positions, so that the other party will not be able to directly grasp the handle to accuse you. 2. **Change the subject**: Cleverly guide the topic to other aspects, mention something related but not directly about responsibility, such as "The weather has changed a lot recently, and it feels that it has a certain impact on the progress of this project", and divert attention from whether you want to take responsibility. 3. **Propose alternative solutions**: Without touching on your own responsibilities, propose some seemingly feasible alternative ways or ideas, such as "Maybe we can try another way to solve this problem, which may have a better effect", giving people a sense that you are actively participating but not focusing on the attribution of responsibility. However, it is important to reiterate that evading responsibility is not conducive to interpersonal relationships and personal growth. Facing problems sincerely and taking due responsibilities can often win the respect and trust of others, and is more conducive to problem solving and long-term development.
