* ''[[Film/BackToTheFuture Back To The Future Part II]]'': Marty, after realizing he was responsible for Biff changing history.

** Also, Marge says that Homer getting thrown into a U.K. jail is "partially my fault" in the episode "The Regina Monologues". This was also done in an earlier episode ("Bart the Lover"), where Bart said "I can't help but feel partly responsible." when he was entirely responsible for Mrs Krabapple's hurt feelings.

* In ''SluggyFreelance'' Torg blames himself for [[ILetGwenStacyDie failing to save]] [[spoiler:Alt-Zoe]]. In fact, he blames himself more than he blames the guy who actually killed her.

** This becomes reversed in the [[VideoGame/Payday2 sequel]], where Bain [[NeverMyFault never takes any blame]].

* At the climax of ''Comicbook/{{Siege}}'', ComicBook/{{Loki}} actually accepts responsibility for the consequences of his actions [[spoiler:namely, the near-destruction of Asgard at the hands of the Sentry/Void]], and provides aid to the heroes in an attempt to mitigate the damage [[spoiler:and is [[HeroicSacrifice slain by the Sentry in the process]].]]

* Yamaki from ''DigimonTamers'' blames himself for almost everything involving Digimon being in the real world, including ''the kids biomerging with their Digimon''. Using the program that opened a huge portal between the worlds and almost let a whole bunch of Digimon into the world was totally his fault, but little else that he's blamed himself for was.

* {{Spider-Man}} blames himself for just about ''everything'' that goes wrong to anybody in his life. So much so that it's become something of a joke for the fandom.

[[folder:Fan Fiction]]

* In ''Film/{{Spider-Man}} 2'', Peter Parker breaks down and confesses the indirect role he played in Uncle Ben's death to Aunt May. May is initially unable to deal with it and walks off, leaving Peter alone, but she later tells him: "You made a brave move in telling me the truth, and I'm proud of you, and I thank you, and I love you, Peter, so very, very much." Later on in the film, J. Jonah Jameson repeats this phrase word for word, believing that the slander he put into his newspapers was what made Spider-Man quit.

* Spider-Man, from ''ImAMarvelAndImADC''. From [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siGtn_SxKbs this episode]]:
-->'''Batman:''' Don't you know, [=Spider-Man=] blames himself for Marvel losing the Transformers?\\
'''Hulk:''' But why?\\
'''Batman:''' I don't know, he blames himself for everything!
* In the WhateleyUniverse, Phase blames herself for what has happened to her own body. WordOfGod says that isn't true.

* ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'': [[spoiler:Isabelle believes Max's death to be her fault, as she was in charge of him at the time. To be fair, though, she had absolutely zero reason to suspect Sebastian.]]

* In ''FruitsBasket'', Ritsu and his mother fit this trope so well- whenever anything goes wrong, Ritsu starts running around screaming that it's his fault and he's soooooooo sorrrrrrry.

* Reed Richards tends to blame himself for a lot of things that happen to the ComicBook/FantasticFour. Part of it is semi-justified, because the accident that gave them their powers and effective ruined their quiet, ordinary lives really ''was'' his fault. However, he also believes that because he is so incredibly intelligent, any misfortune that they can't avoid is automatically his fault for not pulling a brilliant solution out of his ass. Naturally, his ArchEnemy, DoctorDoom, is not only one of the most rabid adherents of this trope's [[NeverMyFault diametric opposite]], he also further aggravates Reed's issues by narrowing his NeverMyFault down to [[InsaneTrollLogic Always Reed Richards' Fault.]]

** [[spoiler:When J Jonah Jameson's wife Marla took a fatal blow for him]], Jonah refused to blame Spider-Man (significant given that Jameson is usually the first to blame Spidey for anything and everything) and even said "It's all my fault."

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', Shepard takes this attitude after the [[DarkestHour Fall of Thessia]]. Shepard states that as the commanding officer, it was his/her responsibility to find every variable and know how to overcome, which s/he failed to do. This sends him/her into a brief, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness but noticable]], HeroicBSOD and very nearly over the DespairEventHorizon.

*** And indeed, by the time Face leads a mission without Wedge being there, and manages to get out with everyone burned but alive and carrying a captured scientist despite [[spoiler: the whole thing being a trap]], he doesn't beat himself up.

->''"They don't have any food stored for the winter! *sob* AND IT'S ALL MY FAAAULT!"''

* [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji's]] mindset in the A/S fic ''Scar Tissue''. He goes so far as to carve "my fault" into his skin... [[spoiler: after the first time he was [[RapeAsDrama raped]] by [[JerkassWoobie Asuka]].]]

* At the climax of ''Comicbook/{{Siege}}'', [[TheMightyThor Loki]] actually accepts responsibility for the consequences of his actions [[spoiler:namely, the near-destruction of Asgard at the hands of the Sentry/Void]], and provides aid to the heroes in an attempt to mitigate the damage [[spoiler:and is [[HeroicSacrifice slain by the Sentry in the process]].]]

* The characters in Creator/CharlesDickens' ''Little Dorrit'' insist that either they aren't to blame or that nobody is to blame. (The novel was initially titled ''Nobody's Fault.'') It's a great moral breakthrough when Arthur Clennam and Mr. Pancks both accept their sole culpability after things go haywire.

* In ''Film/{{Spider-Man}} 2'', Peter Parker breaks down and confesses the indirect role he played in Uncle Ben's death to Aunt May. May is initially unable to deal with it and walks off, leaving Peter alone, but she later tells him: "You made a brave move in telling me the truth, and I'm proud of you, and I thank you, and I love you, Peter, so very, very much."

** There was also the guilt Tai goes through when remembering the time he took a sick Kari outside to play soccer and she collapsed right in front of him. She was then rushed to the hospital where she was diagnosed with phenomena and almost died.
