Sometimes.. yes. I can be very stubborn. Stupid I know but I do it from time to time. Most of the time I admit it.
-
I am never wrong. (Irony intended)
-
That's the advantage to never being wrong. It sure saves me the frustrations of admitting. I've spent years working on this. But I still find myself defending an error from time to time.
-
Not at all, if I am wrong I would prefer to be let known about it so I can learn from it. I never profess to know all about anything, even in what I am trained in. The more you learn the more you realise you know nothing! :)
-
Not if I'm shown a good case that demonstrates that I'm wrong.
-
It depends on what it is, but usually I have no problems doing so.
-
No ... there is a sense of satisfaction received when I am able to say I was wrong ... like everyone ... I am not perfect ... I make mistakes the fact that I am able to realise my mistakes I believe is a plus for me ...
-
Yes. We I'm proven wrong, I either try my best to convince them that they're wrong. But where I'm wrong I recognize it, but still have some doubts.
-
No if I am shown that i am wrong I will admit it and apologise
-
If I am wrong...Yes, it is embarassing to be wrong, however I do admit it and move on.
-
Nope, I can admit to it any time. But that doesn't mean that I think the other person is right. It also doesn't mean that I BELIEVE that I'm wrong. :)
-
No, i am not the smartest one around, so given proof, i will happily admit to being wrong.
-
yes i do. I think i am always right, but i am not. I just like to fight with people about it.
-
No I don't...Because I seem to be wrong alot so I get used to it
-
im never wrong so i have nothign to worry about.lol..there is my answer.
-
No I'll say I'm sorry and try to work it out right away -
-
No. I find it much harder to realise I am right. WHen you live with your mum, you learn it is just easier to be in the wrong.
-
no not really
-
Yes, dear Lord yes.... I will almost never admit that I am wrong, even when signifcant evidence is presented that disproves what I think is right. As a result, I get into a lot of arguments with people. Also, I tend to make inflexible plans that suprise me greatly when they fail.
-
Yes. . .but I could be wrong. . .wait. . .no.
-
It feels oppressive to just consider the energy it would take to resist truth. I'd admit it. Sometimes even when I'm NOT wrong and nobody will listen to me I won't push it. I often "hear" the universe telling me, "Chill, just make sure you get a good seat for the fire works."
-
No, (on the rare occasions that I am, that is!)lol
-
If I ever find out I'm wrong I usually take about a preconception of realities.
-
not at all.

When I'm wrong, I normally come out with it right away; otherwise, I feel real guilty. At one time, I use to be the praise and worship leader for this one church in Portland, well what I did is, I left the church for about 3 months, because of things I was going through. I never said a word to nobody there, but all during this time I felt so guilty that I had not approached anyone. Not only was I the praise and worship leader, but I was also the Pianoist. I finally ended up calling the pastor of the church, setting up a dinner date to talk about my issues and also apologize at the same time. I said I would meet them at a Buffet restaurant. I got there and most of the church people were at a table there waiting to welcome me and my children back. I just broke down and cried. I spoke to all of them, and apologized. They were very forgiving, and showed a lot of love and support. They just wanted me back, and so when I went that following sunday, I went right back up, and did as I use to. They acted as though I never was gone.

i find it very hard every thing i do i make a compatition out of it even if its like the earth is a square .
-
it's hard, but necessary when you are wrong.
-
No, if I agree that I was wrong I admit it. Sometimes when I'm wrong I am grateful for learning something new.
-
Honestly, yes I do sometimes. Especially when I know the person that was right will taunt me about it. I guess I have pride issues.
-
No, I mean yes, no I mean no.... geez, I could do that all day. But seriously... I'm only too happy to admit I'm wrong if it means gettng it right sooner.
-
I dont, But Im a dumbass.
-
I heard of a very interesting study done on this topic... A couple of psychologists infiltrated a dooms day cult to see what would happen when their day of prophecy came and went. Interestingly most of the members just seemed ignore the fact that they were obviously wrong and not only maintained their beliefs but redoubled recrutment efforts... Ive always tried to accept when im wrong gracefully, but its always one of the hardest things to do...
-
No never but its hard to make others admit they are wrong instead.
-
No, when I realise I'm wrong, I have no problem admitting it.
-
No I have no problem admitting it when I am wrong. I will even apologise if I am not wrong, saying look if I worded that wrong or came on a little strong I am sorry. There are no rights or wrongs, just points of view and everyone thinks they are right.
-
No. I have too much experience doing it.
-
No, but then again it is rare that I am wrong..lol
-
No, I'm wrong all the time so I just laugh about it if someone points my mistake out. It's usually not worth making a big deal over anyway.
-
Yes I do find it hard. I'm a fighter and I don't give up very easily.
-
Who me? Wrong? Never in a million years, i laugh at such an insinuation! :D
