No not really because its the easiest thing to do, because seriously who is ever 100% right all the time or about anything one thing, seriously? We are never completely right, because their is always different perspectives on things so its all relative. What's right for us, but not right to someone else and even it works out for us, it might cause problems for other people... so it best to just apologize and let it got.
The problem is that you can't always admit you're wrong to certain types of people or they use it as an excuse to justify their own actions. This is something I learned the hard way. Some people you can say; "Okay I might of made a mistake and I am sorry." And it they are a rational and logical person they will be like, "no problem I understand it happens, I know you didn't mean it on purpose."
But if you are dealing with a illogical person that is completely irrational person, like my ex-wife, never admit to anything. Because they will weaponize it against you.
"Okay hunny, I am sorry I am could of done better and didn't realize it was so important to you" or " My bad it was a mistake, I didn't mean to do anything on purpose". Sure I can always look back on almost anything and say I could of don't better, but seriously would I of done better and would it of mattered and should it matter now? Well if you give them a opportunity to blame you for something they will use it against you. So with people like my ex-wife never admit to anything... I started pretending like I didn't know what she was talking about.

Nope, do it all the time.
I recognized not admitting fault as a personal problem and character flaw when I was a teen so I resolved to correct it and be quick to acknowledge my mistakes.
Yes, I've caught myself struggling to admit when I'm wrong quite some times...
I think it's related to our ego, sometimes it's hard to give in and say "sorry, I was wrong".
But I've been picking on it and trying to get over it. Admitting more when I'm wrong.

A bit, yeah. Especially if it's something I've thought or believed for a very long time.
But generally, if I can understand and accept the other view, I'm open to correcting my errors.

Not really, I just take a little longer at times to realize I might be wrong but I can admit that I'm wrong once I realize it.

Actually not. If it’s my bad, I will apologize

Nope. I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong. I'm just rarely EVER wrong. About anything. But still, the 1% of times I am, I'll be the first to admit it!

Not at all, but if someone thinks I'm wrong about something I always ask them why, and quite often it turns out that I actually wasn't wrong after all.

Depends on what it's about and the overall situation.
Sometimes it can be very hard, and sometimes it comes as second nature. - 561 opinions shared on Other topic.
