Wrong answer given and regret about it?

Question

i gave my friend a wrong information when she asked me a question. i found that my answer is terribly wrong when i did checking and told her the correct answer. now she keeps telling others that i have given her a wrong answer before and i am really embarrased. how should i react when she tells others about this again? i am not angry about this but i regret to have told her a stupid answer before checking the facts.

Answer 1

And we've all done this and most have learned from this mistake. Sounds like you have as well. So the next time she tells someone about this, you just "man did I ever blow it on that one, taught me to check things out first". Owning up to a mistake makes you a much bigger person in most people's minds.

Answer 2

i would never regret it you made a mistake you check the facts and her the right answer.she will soon stop telling and will come back to you for more questions.you are human all people make mistake. dont react to anything.just go on with your life .she the stupid one to give up your trust and tell ever one.have no regerts you did give her the right answer what more does she want. good luck. from me to you i have gave wrong answer too.

Answer 3

Personally, I'd be bothered by the fact that she keeps telling everyone. SHE didnt know the answer! and its not like you gave her the wrong answer on purpose. Sounds like she's enjoying that fact that you were wrong. But then again, that's just me. I'd ask her why she keeps bringing it up? What was the question and your answer? Just curious.

Answer 4

I don't know how serious the mistake was, so the answer will vary. If it's something trivial, you can make statements such as "I can't believe you're still bringing THAT up" or "Yeah, that was such a dumb answer, good thing it didn't matter." If it was something big, talk to her and say "Seriously, I'm very sorry, I don't know what else to say. Why are you still dwelling on it?"

Answer 5

if it was like an answer to something simple such as, who lead the battle in the alamo, then its no biggie, "sh!t happens" but if not and it's serious, explain that "sh!t happens" in a nice- gentle way.
such as, "my bad, i'm terribly sorry for telling you that, i thought i was right but i was wrong, i'm only human. ^.^ do you think that you can forgive me and lets move on?" or something around that, i've stuff like this but i don't regret it because i apologize (and mean it) and attemp to mend things.
(a friend ended up asking this girl that she told me that she liked him but not enough to go out with him... his boyish pride is busted thanx to me, but we mended up things.)

Answer 6

I think that you need to confront her..and say..that what happened has really bothered you..and it DOES bother you..when she talks about you..and you have to find out that she is telling everybody that you gave her the wrong answer!
I would agree with you...this has happened to me as well...I don't blame you in the slightest!

Good luck!
