I think most people avoid admiting being wrong; their pride is on the line.
Can you?

i can admit i am wrong to most people(i don't really like to though).. but i can't to some for example i wont ever admit i am wrong to one of my close friends because she is very competitive natured, she is always trying to be better than everyone (even if she doesn't realize it) If i said i was wrong she would just go on about how she was right and rub it in my face.

Yes I can, for I know that I make many mistakes. And there have been many times when I have had to go to other people and tell them that I am sorry for wronging them. I agree that pride will always try and stop us from being humble unto others, but we must not allow it to do so. No one likes to say that they are wrong, but we must realize that there are many times that we must do so.

I can if it is necessary to do so but my therapist has been telling me I do not owe it to everyone in my life to admit mistakes I have made. And it has nothing to do with pride.

I absolutely can acknowledge my mistakes to others. Making mistakes is part of growing as an individual and learning. I don't see any shame in learning or experiencing life's situations, good or bad.

I am a parent. I see my mistakes every day an dtry to correct them. I see my mistakes in my outside of kids life. Hate admitting to mistakes but it is easier to correct them if I know what they are.

Yes, I will always admit when I've made a mistake. It keeps me learning.

Absolutely...I am the first to admit when I make a mistake, and apologize where necessary.

I am such a social disaster, I have no pride. I admit my faults daily. Be patient with me, I am a work in progress.
