    Are you willing to admit mistakes?

    Like This Thread!
    When I make a mistake, I fess up, and usually say I am sorry as soon as possible to let got of the whole thing..If possible, I cover the mistake with some sort of payback to make up...Is this odd? Do you do the same, or just let it go, and forget that it happen and hope the person or people that were affected will just forget? What is your take on this..Stu Are you willing to talk about it even?

    ...... Peace, Faith, Love, and Hope.

    Of course I do. I'm not into the whole foolish male pride thing. However, guys are not always wrong when it coems to an argument with a girl or woman. I HATE when girls and women act like they're always right, and the guy is considered the big dummy.

    Sure I do. Its just stupid to blindingly believe that only I can be right and everyone else on the face of the earth is an ignorant idiot!

    But all this when I'm wrong of course...I don't think I've ever apologized just for the sake of making up with somebody...

    Oh man I hate it when people don't admit to their mistakes, especially when they act too proud about it. I often admit to my mistakes because I feel guilty if I don't say anything. And for some reason I'm usually nervous when I do. Yeah I'm weird.

    My family is right... I am a goody goody

    I try to fess up when necessary (aka, I've been proven wrong). I often feel guilty when I don't, so I have to clear that up. While I don't like to admit when I'm wrong, I'll do it because it's the right thing to do.

    You spelled "mistake" wrong. Cold hard fact. Admit it.

    I never admit mistakes. Ever. I'll deny it up and down and twist the truth to make the person who caught the mistake look like a raving lunatic... It's weird because it works a lot more than you'd think. :/

    purplehairedwonder, I love your avatar.

    No, not really... I detest having to do stuff like that.

    Though, I have this habit that really bothers me, where sometimes I need to fess up... curse my nice-girlness!!

    Yes, if I'm wrong.

    Which, of course, never happens.

    Sometimes I think I'm a little -too- willing to admit mistakes ... with people I don't really care about I guess I find it much easier to give them a facile, "Yes, you're right, I apologise," than to deal with an argument with them, so I'll "admit" to mistakes with them even when I don't honestly believe I'm wrong ... it's cowardly and non-confrontational, but I tend to rationalise it with a "Hey, what do I care what they think of me, just so long as they're out of my face?" =P

    With people who -do- matter to me I'm a whole lot more likely to stand up for myself if I think I'm right ... actually I really -enjoy- arguing with people I like, in a weird way ... Although if I do ultimately realise I'm wrong I'm REALLY quick to apologise as I end up feeling just horribly guilty otherwise ... Ah, dear old guilt, what would we be without it?

    I'll admit mistakes...then go "I know! I know! STOP NAGGING ABOUT IT!" if people keep bugging me about it. I just ignore most of my mistakes, so it bugs me if someone harps on them.

    I would, but I can't really accept that I'm human and make mistakes. It's not pride, but rather that I feel sad and regret everytime I look back on every mistake that I have done. Perhaps one of my greatest fears in life is making mistakes.
    It's sad that in the end, so much evil is done all in the name of 'Everyone Else is Doing It'.

    This is an interesting position, since we are all human, we make mistakes, but, let suppose I don't know you too well, something happens, then you do your thing, then I assume, you are ok, that I made a mistake or got my facts wrong.It is me, not you...It is not weird at all, most people would react respecting you, and, I think you are right, it would work often than most people think...you have made a interesting point, although I don't necessarily agree with you.
