Are you brave enough to admit that you are WRONG?

It's hard to admit that I'm wrong but I usually apologize and accept my fault or mistakes right away. It's more easier for me than to pretend that nothing happened and let people forget about it. (,")

yes I have been wrong MANY times and I have freely admitted my wrongs in the past as I still do and will continue doing so. It's a show of humility that all humans need to express. being sorry and admitting it shows one cares and is willing to try again no matter what others feel. I admit my wrongs and if others still have a problem with what I did then I at least tried to mend my ways as best as possible. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!`

hi sweetie, i am very docile kind. lol..obviously, i would go to the person concerned and say sorry from the bottom of my heart. situations like this hardly happens to me but i remember once i as so sure that i took my stand very strongly hurting the feeling of some colleague. later on when i realised, i went upto him and said sorry. its not at all the hardest word for me. i really appreciate your thoughts. i feel, there is no harm in saying sorry even to the kids. its a nice teaching process and in future they will do the same. thanx.

ya , its true, but i dont feel guilty to that extent, i just tell it off, atleast my mind will be free of thinking some things like " what i did was wrong, i should have told it"

Yes I do and I am not afraid to admit to it either but I am also not afraid to admit when I am right..lol..When I was with my ex he was HORRIBLE to ever admit when he was wrong even when it was obvious that he was so very wrong, but would rather point the finger at me, even if I didn't do anything at all and that for him was just easier I suppose. Maybe this is why he is my EX! hardy har har..lol -Lora

if i know that i am/was wrong, i do admit and if i hurt anyone or caused pain to anyone, i will apologize...

I believe honesty is the best policy and that it's difficult to live with a guilty conscience so I would be honest and admit my mistake if i really believe thati have committed a mistake or other person convinces me that i have made the blunder. But if i have not done anything wrong then there is no reason to say sorry. Cheers:)

I always apologize and admit my mistakes with ease. Albeit we are parents but still, we tend to make a lot of mistakes along the way. From there, we can learn to improve ourself and become a better parents. There are some people who got this huge ego and hated to admit they are wrong. I can't understand why is it so hard for them to simply open their eyes and look through their wrongdoings. By admitting we are wrong, it doesn't mean we're weakling.

Even though I sometimes hate to admit that I am wrong, I feel uncomfortable if I don't apologise so I do especially if its my husband, son or close family members, even friends. I don't too well knowing that I was wrong and haven't apologised for it. It takes a big person to admit that!

if i feel i'm truly wrong,no,i have no problem apologizing.but i've been in circumstances before where i was accused of doing something i know i did not do. in that case,i will never apologize,no matter the consequence-i will try to explain myself,but if they won't listen,what can you do.

I can always swallow my pride and admit that I was wrong. It's easy when your mind is open on the fact that you cannot be right all the time. I mean, I always have this strong conviction about what i think is right. But then, I'm not perfect, I'm no saint, I know I can't be right all the time. It's better that I admit that to everybody and to myself than pretending that I don't mind being wrong and leave an impression that I don't wanna be corrected.

I agree that when my children are involved, I always apologize. I want them to see me as a role model, but I also want them to know that it's okay to admit to a mistake because no one is perfect. However, admitting to a mistake and apologizing for it puts closure on things so everyone in the scenario can finally move on.

Sometimes, yes. . . but oftentimes, no. Particularly if my husband is the one who's right. I feel that my hubby will only keep on reminding me that I'm at fault, even if the incident/error has been through for about months. I believe this is one room for improvement for me.

I have no issues admitting when I'm wrong. I've misjudged things and people and have jumped to conclusion a few times. When I figured out I was in the wrong I've appoligized to the person or persons I've wronged. There's nothing wrong with saying I'm sorry or I was wrong. To me its those that can't admit they were wrong or at fault that I worry aobut.

yes i do admit when i think im wrong and i repeat i admit WHEN I THINK IM WRONG not otherwise

Yes, every time. At least my intention is to admit it everytime when I am wrong. There is no shame in admitting you are wrong. It is a sign of great personal integrity and self confidence along with knowing who you are.

i think you are right. it is very important for parents to admit when they are wrong as it teaches to admit when THEY are wrong as well...

Yeah, we are all only human. We need to teach our children that nobody is perfect. I think we've all lived under the misconception of perfection for far too long. It has made a lot of neurotic people. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong and apologize. There are people who can't seem to do that...so they try to buy their way out or buy you off afterwards...I'm not sure if that's a matter of not enough bravery or just too much pride though.

To my way of thinking you have to be able to admit a mistake just as easily as taking credit for something. Making mistakes it part of life and learning to cope with that is just as important as anything else. If you can't say your're sorry, then you have no right to claim credits either. Some people make mistakes without intending any harm and apologizing is a way of admiting you understand you made a mistake and that you had no harmful intent.

I admit my mistakes and always ask for an apology. But the bad thing about me is that I accept mistakes even though I know I am right. Just to stop an argument. I'm just hoping someday, this person can realize his mistakes,too.
