Can you admit when you're wrong?

Question

Can you apologize and say you're sorry? I find that it happens very rarely these days.

It took me a while to learn how to take accountability properly. Apologizing is the bare minimum of what you should do if you fuck up and hurt someone, the rest is a matter of adjusting your behavior and if the requirements to do so are too much for you then it’s probably better to just end the relationship.

Now, as for being wrong on factual information, this almost never happens but on the rare occasion I am indeed wrong, I say so. Better to bow out with grace than to dig your feet in like a jackass.

I diligently try to avoid doing/saying incorrect things in general, but when I do mess up (as we all do, obvi, since no one's perfect) and it's brought to my attention I'm usually quick to apologize.

I don't have a problem admitting that I'm wrong. Nobody knows everything, and/or can be mistaken, and when I am, I'm usually mature enough to admit it.

Yes I can that all apart of be a man. When you can do that you're a true adult

bowenw · Answer

Yes. Avoiding it just makes a person lose their credibility.

@princessc16 As a person with truth, I always admit if I'm wrong rather then keep debating on false

wynning · Answer

From a meta perspective, you're never gonna get anyone who's going to say they CAN'T admit when they're wrong. Because that would be admitting they were wrong in and of itself!

OneViewpoint · Answer

If you can't admit when you're wrong and you can't apologize, you have some serious personality development issues. Unfortunately, this describes about 80% of the women I meet. Hence why I'm extremely cautious about who I allow around me.

Sunrising · Answer

I can always admit and say sorry when I'm wrong, but I've never needed too!

Valdemort · Answer

lol yeah, I'm wrong quite regularly and probably apologise more often than I have to, but I rather take accountability too often than pretend I can never do wrong.

To quote John Maynard Keynes: When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?

Simslover92 · Answer

Yes I can especially now that I'm older. When I was younger I was a bit of a know it all so it would be hard to admit when I'm wrong but not now.

Sonorous · Answer

I don't like saying sorry with my words. I prefer to say sorry with my actions. I can say sorry after I make things right with my actions.

serious · Answer

Yes I do that. However, I should realize I am wrong and only then I will admit and apologize. I won't do it just because someone tells me it is wrong.

SeriouslyNotSerious · Answer

I do take accountability for my actions, yes and yes. ❤️

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I can! I'm very ready to admit when I had a bad read on something.

Lliam · Answer

I can admit when I'm wrong. And I have no problem apologizing if my error offended someone.

AnonAndrew · Answer

I think I can, but it's hard to tell, because I've never been wrong. Just a joke. Yeah, of course I can. Any grown man or woman should be able to.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Yes if I find out that i'm wrong. I'm rarely wrong though because I hate assuming.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Yes. It works out well because in other circumstances when I deny blame, people understand that I am not at fault.

MisterWack · Answer

I can admit when I’m wrong and always strive to learn more believing human knowledge doesn’t end, you could always learn more.

AmazonChick171 · Answer

I admit when I’m wrong but sometimes I don’t want to get called out for some things.

DrPepper12 · Answer

Authenticity is concomitant with honesty. Authentic or not at all. Sorry is for MY GRACE & HARMONY, not solace for the transgressor.

exitseven · Answer

I do not know. So far I have never been wrong about anything.
