It is really sad and painful for a person to stand a wrong accusation. The frustrations that one suffers for such blames are inexplicable, and coming out of it is really a tough job. Here we have given some of the essential ways of dealing with accusations.
Ignore or remain quiet
It is quite embarrassing and harassing to tolerate an accusation, especially when you know quite well that you are anyway not at fault. So, of course you might feel restless because of the anger and irritation. But, always keep in mind that you must stay very much composed, even when the issue takes a serious turn. Disagreements between you and the accuser might push you in further trouble. Explaining the accuser, immediately after you have been accused will not work to save you, as because the accuser expectantly wonât be interested to listen what you have to say at that time. So, just keep quiet. He might constantly keep condemning you and poking you, making it difficult for you to put up with the accusation. And if this happens, then try to switch over to some other topic, in a way ignoring what the accuser has to say. Suppose that, the accuser said: âI canât believe how you did this!â Then you can divert the discussion by saying: âFrom what you said, I just recalled, remember how unbelievable the movie was (name any movie)?â If possible, involve others in the conversation. And after that just donât stop. Keep talking about the movie, and then talk about something else, and slowly try to move out of the scene.
Try to explain
Problems can often be settled down by talking to the accuser. So, try to talk and explain to the accuser that you have been misunderstood. Tell him all that has actually happened. Let him know what you wanted to say, and how you have been misinterpreted. Do not expect him to understand you right away after you finish explaining. So be patient. And yes, one more thing is, do not wait for any apology from his side. Even if he realizes that he was wrongly accusing you, he might not be ready to accept that. And, even after explanation, if he still believes that he was right to blame you, just do not pay any attention. Your job was to clarify, and you did that. So, loosen up.
Do not reveal any evidence
The perfect solution to such problems is that, try to look for some evidence that will be in your favor. And, once you get it, do not discuss it with other people, and especially the accuser. An accuser may be accusing you because he believes you are wrong. But, this may not be always true. He might have the knowledge that you are innocent. And, thus the reason behind him accusing you can be his sole intention to harass you, to take revenge on you for something or maybe something else. So, be cautious to not to reveal the evidence to him. When you try out explaining him, following the second point, always remember that at any case you must not discuss with him about the proofs that are available to you. All evidence must be kept in between you and your lawyer. Your accuser might be manipulative enough and may turn the proofs which were in your support, against you. So, you must keep this point in mind.
Seek for witnesses
In legal issues, as we all know eyewitnesses play an important role. So, it will be really good for you if you can get hold of a witness. A witness can rescue you from all the troubles that you have been facing. But, never discuss anything regarding who your witnesses are and what are they aware of, with anyone. And, one more thing is make sure that the witness is reliable enough. It has been time and again found that witnesses play double game. He may try to show that he is very much loyal to you, but at the same time may get paid and work for your opponent party. If offered bribe, then they might not talk in your favor any longer. So, maintain good terms and do be highly concerned to watch out the whereabouts of your witnesses.
Follow your lawyer
Lawyers are required to intervene when the problems start getting grim. So, it is undoubtedly safe to take legal help at these points of time. Listen and do only what your lawyer asks you to do. At any rate do not take decisions by your own. Consult the concerned lawyer whenever and wherever necessary. Like, for example, if you make your mind up to meet your accuser, then do ask the lawyer before you do that as because it might not be always safe. And, do not ever try hiding things from him because it won’t help you, rather, both you and your lawyer would find complicatedness in resolving the matter.
