Are you willing to admit when you're wrong or do you keep arguing?

When I was young I had to be right about everything all the time. But I understand why. I had a dysfunctional family. I had to make sure everything was safe and under control. I was a young girl keeping the family in tact ( no dad at home). So, I carefully my house of cards and became a perfectionist. It was my coping mechanism to get through life. I just couldn't be wrong about anything because, after all I constructed this perfect house of cards that couldn't possibly have anything wrong with because then I would wonder what else went wrong that I didn't know about.
When I was older I realized it was a coping mechanism. So, I got a big dose of humility and became very humble. It was then I let go of my perfectionist ways, and it became easy to admit when I am wrong. 🌹

If I am wrong it does not suit me to talk more about the matter and keep arguing , it is unrespectful I apologise if I do so after realizing my mistake. I hardly ever argue with people already but try not to break their hearts because I am calm person mostly. If my red line is exceeded then I may be angry but not that much , in the case I am right when this takes place I take it easy then after turning back to real me lol I again apologise for that , remember , saying sorry does not indicate that u r weak or etc. We are human beings everyone could make mistakes even unintentionally , we are all visitor or guests here on the Earth. So if we complain about more the time passes the more the good people's amount getting less day by day , we need to take into account to this matters and not to break our hearts , right?

When I know I'm wrong I acknowledge it and concede, but until I'm truly proven wrong I will not. The only reason to argue in my mind is because you believe what you say.

Like people have been surprised, when I said, "damn... you're right... I guess I was looking at it the wrong way" because so many people argue to win not because they actually believe they're right.

[whirled_up_girl]

On gag or in real life? On gag I like to debate with people and if they're respectful and make a good counter argument I'll acknowledge it but if I don't agree I usually just stop responding or agree to disagree.

I'll come back when I am wrong.

Seriously I have this motto. It is never who is wrong or right it is WHAT is wrong or right. That keeps me from getting proud and being more inquisitive when I enter a discussion (not argument)

Secondly I do my best to never say "I was wrong" but a more effective options. "That is right" By focusing on the right and not the wrong and the subject and not the people.

[YES12]

I always do. Because if you feel like you are not wrong. The person your spouse, relatives, they feel like they are right. So i always put their opinion as valid and meet in the middle. We will not always see eye to eye but respecting their opinions goes along way. No one parents the same you just learn how to compromise.

[DWornock]

I don't mind admitting I was wrong but most people are not seeking the truth. They just want to win an argument. I first discovered that in college when I and another guy didn't agree. I was only interested in the truth. However, I discovered, he didn't care about the truth, he just wanted to win an argument. After that, I don't engage in lengthy arguments. I will go a couple of rounds and if my positions hasn't changed, I reply, "Whatever" and quit.

[MTC29]

I admit when I'm wrong. I apologized to a neighbor a few weeks ago about a huge misunderstanding which was my fault.

Honestly, it is amazing how much better I felt after simply saying, "I'm sorry."

[boldlyblu]

I can easily admit when I'm wrong, I'd like to be wrong more often than I am. With my experiences I can see around corners and danger coming. Unlike, some.

[Anonymous]

It depends on what you are wrong about and the situation. If it’s just some argument with a close friend or partner, sure I can say im wrong all the time. If you are in a professional setting, it’s better to never say you are wrong. There are severe repercussions for admitting fault. So it’s best to find another way to explain error or something without directly admitting fault.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I'll admit I'm wrong when I'm not wrong, being right or wrong really doesn't change anything.

Focus on solutions, or else you are part of the problem.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I'll almost always admit when I'm wrong but when I'm right I usually fight pretty hard for it. I've been learning to stop though. Some people don't care about right wrong true or false

[Nightmarerh]

Are you talking about Donald Trump?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@Nightmarerh I'm talking about most people in general. Politics is related to what Im saying I guess but it's not at the heart of what I'm saying.

It has more to do with perception and people making up their own realities. There's a lot of ego in the world now. Nobody wants to ever be seen failing or else their self worth disappears.

[lightbulb27]

yes but may take time to "come down", so I can listen, reflect, and come back. I historically would get defensive if was about me.

[DizzyDesii]

I can admit that i misunderstood but i’ll always continue making my point because i likely dont think im wrong

[ArrowheadSW]

I tell people that I like it when I'm wrong, because then I learned a different approach to whatever the problem was.

[ArrowheadSW]

Or I should say, that I like it when I find out that I am wrong.

[mobiusforniner]

If im wrong, I accept it, admit it and own it. Problem with this world, too many people think theyre right...

[Chiarac2003]

If I’m wrong I tot tell him. An I’m nvr allowed 2 argue 🎀

[Alex8736]

It tends to be a grey area especially in text format when sometimes things get easily misconstrued which is why if it's something more specific than just a simple yes or no answer I will have them call or meet me so things don't fall out of context

[driven159]

I am usually not wrong I am a thinker, so I don't talk just to talk so if I say something or asked something and answer it then it's because I know if I don't know then I don't mind saying I don't know

[Sour-rose]

It may hurt like someone pulling off my fingernail but I'm willing to admit

[Apulu_Imback]

It's more embarrassing to look so dumb and keep arguing for something which is wrong.

[KelleyNice]

Occasionly someone changes my opinon. However, I don't like to keep arguing. It's futile.

[globetrotter22]

There is a difference between “being right” vs. WHAT is right.

There is too much of the former in the world right now.

[exitseven]

I never would admit to being wrong but I have mellowed a little in my old age. I usually will admit it, of course I am hardly ever wrong.

[dustybiker]

Sometimes you can both be right. Admitting that is easy enough with practice.

[TheSpaceGnome]

People who admit they are wrong, are eventually right.
People who never admit they are wrong, remain wrong.

[TacosRAwesome]

I'll admit if and when I'm wrong. I'll argue to my grave if I don't think I am.

[COoperativez]

This is me too lol

[josephinelcajon]

I do not argue regardless but if wrong I admit it right away

[UniquelyBasic]

Sometimes I can be stubborn but I can admit when Im wrong... Sometimes.

[Anonymous]

Yes. I find there is more strength and beauty in admitting when i was wrong than to act like i can never be wrong.

I dont affiliate with people, who never admit their own shortcomings, considering they have committed one.

[sassyredhead]

I can admit when i am wrong if anything I overly apologize in my relationships.

[Pudsmucker]

Through my relationship I have learned even though I am right I'm wrong also because she has what I want.

[CallmeTheKnight]

Admit I'm wrong if I'm wrong. You make yourself look stupid when you deny the truth.

[genericname85]

well when i agree that i'mw rong, i will admit it. but that's rarely the case.

[McKellar]

If I'm at fault on something then I will man up about it, but if something is not my fault then I will defend myself on that if need to be.

[Anonymous]

ohh please most of you atheist

won't even admit there is a dome above the earth
and GOD Christ is real

what a waste

[Creampiekarl420]

Yes because I argue to find an understanding not to just be right

[OddBeMe]

I may have trouble at first but I come around and admit it.

[kitkatts]

Always admit when wrong, and would expect same from my partner.

[mikeykun66]

Depends on the topic. If I know I'm right I can argue all the day without stopping but if I know I'm wrong Then I didn't even start a argument.

[AtomicHoverCat]

its kinda embarrassing to keep arguing when you're wrong

[Jltakk]

Yes, and then I'm called passive aggressive when I tell them that I'm wrong. Can't win.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Yes of course. But only when I’ve convinced myself I was wrong

[Anonymous]

Yeah, but first I have to be wrong and I seldom am.

[9975523809]

I always want to know about my mistake to keep my side clear.

[Tay1708]

I know it's bad but I keep arguing cause I need to show my own way of thinking

[TommyMountainFigure]

If I'm wrong I'll hold my hand up and admit it.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am willing to admit, you can’t always be right.

[Smashingdoozy]

I admit when I'm wrong

[JoyGirl]

I can admit when I am wrong.

[TheMajesticKing777]

I know when I fuck up lol

[baserunner611]

I never hear women say, I am wrong

[Asker]

Me neither

[Freyke]

I have no problem admitting to it and moving on.

[Kelly6]

I always admit my mistake

[jasco]

If I can understand that I am wrong than sure

[Grubhub]

Yea but I know people who don’t

[IsoUser]

Hey, I'm the first to admit when I am wrong lol

[Nads111]

I would admit.

[GG2000]

If I'm wrong I'll just laugh it off ig

[Anonymous]

Yes but it doesn't matter

[Anonymous]

[Uptowngirl88]

[CT_CD]
