Lost In Xanadu Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 How hard is it for you to do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 My brother never admits he's wrong - he just starts throwing wild claims out to try to distort the argument to the point you just give up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I never like admitting that I'm wrong, but I generally do when it's clear that I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo73 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 when it's clear that I'm wrong, I say so. But I do not apologize to people who do not deserve it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 If I'm in the wrong, then I'd apologize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 You mean, like, if you went and called somebody, say, a stalker - on a whim, without any evidence, would you properly apologize after you've been proved wrong, or just sweep it under the rug and pretend nothing happened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I will be the first to admit that I love being right and the sound of my own voice. That said, when I don't know I say so (if you read my posts you know that much anyway) and when I am wrong I would be the first to admit it. There are some however that would go down with the ship and never admit it no matter how damning the evidence. We are all different and I guess we should cherish that. Life would be boring otherwise. I guess the Sterling case brought this all up huh? lol Nice thread BTW LIX :ebert: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I admit it when I'm wrong about a fact. However, I despise being told my opinion is wrong. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umoveme Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 It's kind of a sign of emotional intelligence and class. Not all people possess that. I try to admit I'm wrong, but it might take a few minutes for me to realize it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aikenrooster Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I admit that I'm wrong all the time. No biggie. Like Narp said, if I don't know something then I don't act like I do. If somebody wants me to guess, then I tell them I'm just guessing. Here's a better question: How hard is it to actually credit someone for being right? Again, I don't have a problem with doing this, because I like to find the good in people, but other people will never tell you that you were right, no matter what. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Grownup Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I live by the motto "You get to be right and I get to live in peace". Sometimes I'll admit to something just to shut someone up. It's not always I mean it ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I am never wrong. And when I am I kill off the evidence. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really aren't that different. Always being the "bigger" person isn't always easy if that makes sense. Sometimes "you" have to look bad in the short term and then others realize later.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
