I used to have a really hard time with this one.
I grew up in a family that gave you a reeeealy hard time if you were wrong about anything, so it was better to pretend you were never wrong.
That made me a peach to live with later I'm sure. But patience and love won out.
I finally got it though my thick head that there weren't any horrible consequences of admitting I was wrong. That in my new social circle people didn't shove it in your face.
And in fact admitting your wrong usually lets the issue get over with so much quicker, Once you admit it, it is over and done with. If you try to hang on to your pride the awkward tension just hangs on, and on. You get an ulcer that way.
It is hard to get past your pride, but once you do it is so liberating.

It takes a big man to admit when hes wrong. Many people have too much pride so they feel like they cannot admit that they are not perfect. I always try to be accountable for my mistakes.

Yes I believe that I am mature enought to admit when I have either made a mistake or am wrong. Non of us are perfect so being wrong now and again can be viewed as very positive as you can and should learn from your past mistakes.

I admit I'm wrong when people say me all in a good way

Of course I admit it! I also apologize. We are all human and make mistakes.
Besides - It takes a real person to admit they were wrong and apologize

Sometimes I am sure I am right. Then I find out later that I was wrong. It is so humbling. But I will admit it when it happens.

Yes, because when I am wrong I am wrong, and not admitting it still doesn't make it right.

I'd like to say that I do everytime I am wrong but I probably get stubborn and don't sometimes. Especially when it comes to having to admit that my husband is right about something....I hate that!!!! :)

Yes, especially to my kids! I hated when my parents were wrong and never said sorry or admitted it.

Hi there,
To err is human, but an intelligent one who has erred would accept it. Once that has happened you give yourself a chance to learn the correct stuff. It also shows the honesty that u possess.
It's always better to do so because" u'll definitely change for the better"
love,
Jeyanth
