How do you define personal responsibility? When something bad happens that involves you, how do you know whether or not you bear some responsibility for it?

Personal responsibility can be defined so many different ways. The definition of it mostly depends on the person because everyone has their own idea of what responsibility is. To me, personal responsibility is thinking out an action if it is right or wrong before executing it. If it is wrong personal responsibility is also accepting that the only person you can blame is yourself. No one has total control of a person except for themselves, so any choice made is theirs.
