A friend asked me to visit, and we set a time and a day. She called at the right time (wrong day) very upset and wanting to know where I was. I told her I thought it a different day. She was upset with me. Then I e-mailed her to say I was sorry, I had thought a different day, and thought we had plans to do certain things. She realized we could do these things only on the day origionally planned. She called to see if I could still come on that day, and never a word about her being wrong.

Because, as humans, we often only think of ourselves and as things relate to us. We automatically assume we are correct in our thinking and actions, and if it is out side of ourselves then it must be wrong. It takes a very mature and grounded person to admit they are wrong and openly admit that. Being able to admit you make mistakes, and not beat yourself up about it, is a very endearing quality. Kudos for you for not rubbing it in her face and realizing that everyone is wrong or mistaken at some time. . .

The people who are kind , honest and responsible will admit their mistakes and apologize. So the friendship will be continued. You must be bold to admit your mistakes. There is no harm in it.

I think they feel it is degrading to admit being wrong - some people just think they are always right regardless

People don't like to admit they're wrong because of their pride.

some people it is hard to admit wrong because they admit fault and no one likes to be at fault, but it takes a bigger person to admit fault and own upto it
