Is admitting when your're wrong a sign of strength?

[SomeGUYonGAG]

People would rather be right than to know the truth, and I think we're to blame for it. I've admitted that I was wrong a couple of times but a lot of those time the person who corrected me feels the need to insult me while doing it for no reason at all, they would respond to me with "No this is what happened you fucking idiot" and when I review the facts and see, I'll admit that I'm wrong and the edgelord wannabe will respond "that's right you fucking retard."
This is why people have become dumb, they know they're wrong but they don't want to own up to it because assholes want to berate them for it, this is one of the reasons that we can never succeed as a society.

Is it a show of true strength when someone is willing to take the embarrassment of being wrong?

Does it make that person a badass?

Yes, and it's badass

Most people these days don't admit it, and it's a shame they let their pride get in the way. Despite not many people admitting they are wrong and being defensive instead, I feel like admitting you are wrong and learning from that mistake, is one of the most human and humble things you can do.

Yes, it's good to admit that you're wrong, but that doesn't give anyone the right to be an asshole when they're right

Having humility, a conscious, and of course being humble is a sign of strength. It means you can change and is just a person who makes mistakes like any other human being. Better to repent than to not repent at all.

Yes admitting you’re wrong is much better than tryna act right... people are asses because they think they have a power over you cause you admit it

[ArchEnemy]

I don't know about strength but it is good to know the truth and know if you are wrong. It is hard to admit being wrong but I would rather know.

[serious]

Yes that is. Without doubt.

[Cryptic-Game]

Yes. Real people own up to their mistakes.
