Admitting a mistake takes strengh of character -- and makes one a better person.

Not so hard to do after l got out of my 30's. I do respect humility.

Yes to all the above. I totally agree with all you wrote. I stay away from doing wrong things only because I do not want to cause any hardship to anybody. Or myself...

I think it is the ultimate act of honesty, to admit when you’re wrong.

The infallibility epidemic is an extension of their religion. When people consider their religion to be divine and infallible, they think their own actions and beliefs are infallible by extension. American exceptualism and individual exceptualism are both often born from religious exceptualism. There's no evidence to support any of it, but that doesn't seem to be a hindrance for any of them.

I have no problem with being wrong. I know I am flawed, and sometimes will make mistakes. I work with someone who will never admit she is wrong, and thinks I am being disrespectful if I have an idea other than hers. Hard to deal with idiots like that

Since my teens and until my forties I was "never wrong"....One day a friend who knew me from childhood told me why I acted in such stupid way. She said: "You -like most in our generation- were taught how to do everything the right way by being told that you were always wrong." She was correct and until that day I was a person who had great difficulty accepting when I was wrong.

Maybe it's because there could be a few handfuls of people who could take your place. If I'm wrong at my job, there is a list of people who could do it "better." If I'm wrong in my relationship, there are a ton of dating sites making it easy to meet the next "one". As I saw someone mention, right and wrong shouldn't equate to good and bad, but we make it that way. Until we accept that our faults make us who we are, and that we are still worthy, we will only continue to assert our "rightness".

Long in tooth.

It's very easy for me to admit that I am wrong. I love talking about myself and if admitting that I am wrong about something affords me the opportunity, I'll take it!

Seriously, I struggle with bipolar disorder and one sure tale tell sign that I'm manic is that my behavior becomes more anti-social. One of the many destructive ways in which this condition manifests is delusions of grandeur which blinds you to your faults, and sometimes makes it impossible to perceive reality in the same manner as those not afflicted with a mental disorder. There is a total lack of awareness that slowly creeps in, and before you know it, people are looking and reacting differently to you and you don't understand why. Before you know it you have become infallible, inflexible and intolerable!

I just can't wait for the next episode.

My humility is my favorite thing about me?

I do not enjoy being right. As a pessimist by nature, being right is not a good thing.
