Deflection is a manipulation tactic used to avoid accountability by diverting blame or criticism away from oneself and onto another person. Instead of addressing an issue, the manipulator shifts the conversation to a different topic or turns the accusation back on the accuser, often making the other person feel confused, invalidated, or even responsible for the original problem. This tactic is used to protect their ego, avoid guilt, and maintain control.
