What it means
Our interpretation.
A tentative, probing question that suggests someone's troubles might be partly self-inflicted. It asks whether the person could have contributed to their own downfall, inviting reflection on responsibility while leaving room for the answer to be no. The word 'somehow' softens any accusation.
