Are you WRONG more than you are RIGHT?

Question

AviatorTom · Accepted Answer

I had a former boss who told me that some of my colleagues had a tough time working with me because I was right almost all the time. I disagreed with her and mentioned the various mistakes I had recently made, which of course I learned from, and she changed her tone.

I am wrong sometimes, usually really wrong. The important thing to do when someone is wrong is to admit it, and learn from it.

I tend to be correct more often because I have learned to keep my mouth shut if I am not sure about my information.

DaveJord · Answer

Fuck, I don't know honestly. At this piont in my life, I tired of even worrying about it, or trying to right. I mean I try not to be wrong, but I got to be true to me.

So my right and what you think is right or should right, really doesn't matter... because its near impossible to completely wrong or right.

If I feel one way or another, by some thing you do, not do, say or not say... well the way it makes me feel is not wrong. But feeling what you feel doesn't make you right either... it just makes you human.

I voted A. I assume people have negative intentions, and I'm working on assuming they have positive intentions.

libsaretards · Answer

I am right about 7/10 times. The times I am wrong are either when I do not listen to my gut instincts or if I am missing a key piece of the puzzle.

For example, 2 days ago I broke up a fight among inmates in the jail. I only saw one inmate swing and I thought he was the aggressor so I put more charges on him than the other guy. Something told me it was not like this inmate to be an aggressor, but I acted on what I saw instead of my gut feeling. During the disciplinary board, it turns out the guy I thought was the aggressor was actually acting in self-defense and all charges were dropped against him. However, since I was being investigated (routine when a use of force draws blood) I was not allowed to see the camera footage until the inmates involved were allowed to see it. Under normal circumstances I would have been allowed to see the footage sooner, but the lieutenant had questions about my use of force and therefore did not allow me access to the footage until his investigation was complete.

LovingJo · Answer

I'm hardly ever wrong. Because I love to learn. It's not that I think I'm always right, I like to be shown when I'm wrong, so I can learn from that too.
You don't get anywhere in life, without making mistakes, feeling shame, and learning that you can't feel the way you want all the time.
If everything you wanted, came easy for you, how would anything ever be worth doing?

I think that's where people fall down, now.
You can't be honest, and can't take constructive criticism.

It's only going to get worse, unfortunately. Because people like living in a bubble, even if they DO know its wrong. Can't be bothered with the hassle.
The people who learn from it, live with the lessons.
The people who are ignorant to it, may have it better and worse 🤷🏻‍♀️

Point is, if you don't keep trying, you will never know if you were right or wrong, in the end? 😊

Datboi65 · Answer

To be fair I have no idea. It's hard to tell from first person mode, and most people would like to believe that they are right, but I have to be realistic.

I'm not a know-it-all type of dude, and I do like to admit when I'm wrong or when I don't have enough knowledge on a subject. I do however think that I try my best to get my point across as clearly as possible so that it is not misunderstood, whether it is right or wrong. The other stuff? That's up for the people to decide.

OpenClose · Answer

Depending on what it is, I often like being wrong. If I was wrong and was proven so, it means I get to correct one more thing in my head and carry on closer to what's right.

It's even better if it's something I was angry or upset about. Then it's like:

"Women like assholes and pass down good men because they are turned off by goodness".
"Good news, you're wrong!"

Or if some study came out that actually definitively proved climate change wrong, that would be AWESOME news. I'd still be environmentally conscious, but I would be WAY less worried about fossil fuels, and would say it could probably hold us over while we build fission plants and switch to fusion.

If you're talking about a relationship, I'm probably wrong more than I'm right because my memory is garbage.

msc545 · Answer

Things and issues are not often a "right-wrong" dichotomy. Nuance is almost always involved in every controversy.

normalice · Answer

I try not to speak unless I am certian. And when I'm not certian I use a lot of "probably" and "maybe" to provide some room for error - neither right nor wrong. So, my results are biased.

Nikki1989 · Answer

It depends on the topic.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

I have no idea because I haven't tallied every conversational debate I've had over the past 43 years lol. I'm definitely sure I've been right and wrong at times.

FootfetishistBoy · Answer

Well most people are wrong more than they're right. Nobody knows everything. But I prefer not to speak if I knew I could be wrong.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

I sure hope not. If I'm certain of a fact, then I say so. If I ain't so certain, I usually say that I think such-and-such. I can't be wrong then!

BJP21 · Answer

Im one of those when I think I am wrong it turns out to be right. If I take a test of some kind, Im always the one to erase a correct answer.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Yup. I actually like to learn instead of assuming that I know everything.
