We can blame the one bleeding because it is easy to place that blame on them but I think helping them realize that it is in fact happening is an issue. As someone who does suffer from it quite a bit it's hard to just take it when someone goes "respect the ic/ooc boundary" when I don't even realize that it is happening and is causing issues.
It takes deep reflection to see it when you are the one causing it because you don't even realize it.
Agreed. Frankly if anyone were to catch me putting my own feelings above that of my characters to start drama I would sincerely hope that they would stand up to me and try to show me what I'm doing. Sometimes we just get so caught up in the moment that we don't think properly until further reflection, by which time a few more more apologies might be necessary.
