    How often are you wrong? What do you usually feel when you're wrong? Do you humbly accept it and move on, or do you take things personally and try to justify yourself? When do you usually realize when you're wrong?

    fix'd.

    I find myself to be wrong more and more often lately, and usually I take to reflecting over it on my own and then end up apologizing. Reflecting on myself really does help. :p
     
    It depends on the thing I'm wrong about. I have a bad habit of defending myself, while in my head taking their words to heart, so then I feel attacked because I am acknowledging I'm wrong inside my own mind and working to change those pathways in my brain, but I'm too...something to want to tell them that I'm doing that. I'd rather defend why I was wrong and justify it publicly, and then take on the criticism silently. It's silly because if I just told them what was in my head it would be much more helpful.
     
    I admit that sometimes I can be wrong. However, it's harder to admit than being right because I feel as though I've made a fool of myself for being wrong about something. Most times, I'll say something like "I could be wrong..." since I feel like it lightens it up so that I'm not embarrassing myself. XD

    My mom, on the other hand... she'll swear up and down she's right about something until you have to prove her wrong. Then she's all like, "Oh, I knew that". It can be annoying because when you can't prove her wrong, it creates a huge argument that bothers my dad.
     
    I'm wrong all the time.

    Hey guys, did you hear that Nintendo is going to release Pokemon R/S remakes in 3 months! AND ALL REGIONS WILL BE FEATURED!
     
    I'm wrong sometimes but I have a hard time admitting it when I am because people are generally tools about it. But people who reject the notion that they could ever be wrong out of hand have some other mental issues going on that I don't understand and don't really want to understand.
     
    I'm surprised it can be difficult for so many people to admit when they're wrong and move on from it.
    So, yes, it's easy for me. I'm fully aware that each of us only knows what comes to us, and of the narrow view any given individual has of anything.
     
    Normally, people like to point out that I'm wrong, which could go either way; it depends on their delivery of telling me that I'm wrong. For instance, there was an old Asian man last week who pointed out during badminton that my smashes are sliced sometimes, which is not necessarily "wrong" per se, but he put it in such a condescending way that it annoyed the crap out of me. I wanted to smash his face in for even saying that to me because he's not even a better player than me. If one of my friends who genuinely points out that I'm doing something wrong in any way then I won't have any problems with admitting my mistake though they don't often produce apologies, more like "my bad."
     
    I'm not always wrong, nor am I always right; same goes for pretty much everybody else. We're human, so we are all alike in terms of this, regardless of how you might put it. Don't mind when others correct me, but it usually depends on the way they actually execute it. If they give good explanation and reasoning behind their statement, then that's perfectly fine. If they straightly go ahead and say "this is not how you do it, etc. etc.," then I might wind up getting a little... annoyed. :( I would accept it either way, though (if they have some good point), but in my opinion, former is the best way to go about these kind of stuff; usually, that's how I do it, because I just don't want people getting upset. I'm very sensitive when it comes to how others think of me, so I try my best to consider their feelings as much as I possibly can before proceeding to do things.
     
    I am often wrong.

    Took a long time for me to learn to be wrong, and to be cool with being wrong. But I am glad I am not as proud as I was, it is one less burden to carry.
