so this topic usually it is not so easy as when you read the title of the discussion!!in fact it is not so normal that people admit their mistakes clearly!!such as when a think doen't work person who supported it and know now it is wrong seldom admit clearly'yes i commit a mistake' towards others!!so usully people have two major behaviour:1.they try to forget and so they don't admit just try not spread i commited a mistake2.they don't admit and sometimes will be nervous with you if you remind about it.
So do you recognize in this behaviour or not?do you usually admit your mistakes to others or normally try to forget and stop?

If you're gonna ask me, i rarely admit my mistakes because i have the tendency to become a "know-it-all" person. I don't know why but i guess that's who i am. If ever i admit a mistake, i usually admit it sarcastically or i atleast put an irony in it so i won't feel bad about it.

My onscience is so keen that I easily get disturb if I know that I commit a mistake. It libngers on my mind. So to have peace and to start on the right track, I ask for forgiveness and express in my actions how I am repenting. In that way, I gain peace and be back on ther right track again.

Yes, I do admit my mistakes to others if I make an error. I'm a good one for apologizing also. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. It's not beneath my dignity to say I was wrong whether it be to my boss, a co-worker or my family. I can also learn along the way.

I tend to immediately want to cover my self when Ive done a mistake. Not that its a good thing, that is just my first reaction, or impulse.
So I have to be thinking all the time.. Am I actually wrong? Because if I am, its easier to be humble and admit your faults, then try to cover them and look like a fool...

Well, i made it a point to admit my mistakes... because i tell myself that a mistake is a mistake and the best thing that we can do about that is to learn from it... and to be honorable enough to accept the consequences that it will bring... i know that it is very difficult for others to do this but i trained myself since i know in the long run if i don't admit my mistake... the truth will come out anyway...

Depending on the kinda mistakes i make and towards wat kinda things.. I will admit it differently.. For those things whereby i know i'm wrong right in the 1st place, i will admit it readily.. BUt for things i got it wrong in mid way, i will try to hide or maybe try to admit it in a very general way so as to save myself from the embrassement.. LOL

in my case i just keep silent at first and i will not argue further on the issue(that is if im wrong)..admitting that your are wrong is not an easy tasks..even in your family circle...in our family if one of the members committed mistake..then it he/she is oblige to admit it and say sorry atleast or even make some action or gestures apologetic enough to the concerned member..actually admitting that your wrong depends on the level of relationship you have with each other..for us in our family it is or rather easy to admit and apologize to the members of our family..

if i really trust and feel comfortable with a person, then yes, i would admit my mistakes if i commited them because i don't have to worry about anything because i know that the person that i trust will not take advantage of my mistakes to make fun of me.

If I didn't, the way I see it I'd never learn.
It's important for me to realize these types of things and if I have to stand and say "Hello, my names Joey... I've filled in this form but by mistake I put "THIS IS LAME" then I would admit to it.
^ Apart from joking, I think it is best to know what mistakes I do and if someone was to say "did you make a mistake" or I just needed to admit it.
I would,

If I make mistake, I will admit it and apologize to the person as I fully understand that we are human and everyone will make mistake. The most important thing is we can rectify the mistake and avoid the same mistake again. There is a saying: ‘No mistake, no progresses. LOL

Absolutly I do!! Now when I was younger I didn't because I was too embarassed to but now that I'm older and learned a few things about life, I've learned it's much better to admit my mistakes and apologize for them. It takes a much bigger person to admit one's mistakes. Besides, it makes me feel much better about myself by admitting I made a mistake. Seriously, I do feel much better admitting my mistakes.

AWLASY oops sorry I made a mistake meant to say ALWAYS........seriously though yes I do, no one is perfect but I feel it is better to own up to a mistake rather han ge found out. TRUTH and HONESTY always win in the end. I'm human so I am sure there have been some along the way that I haven't owned up to but none that come to mind right now

I always try to admit my mistakes to others because I have when people cant just admit that they are wrong instead they just stop talking and try to avoid the situation so I always try to tell people when I am wrong.

Yes, I often to say sorry to people whenever I made a mistake. For me, it is not hard to accept to myself about my wrong doing and I will make sorry to all people who are affected for that wrong doing I made.

It is really shameful to admit one's mistake. You need to be very humble to say the truth. Well, I admit mine most of the time. I don't want to create trouble with the people around me. Admitting my mistakes, I know, is a part of my growth.

Yes, I usually admit my mistakes but it depends on whom am confessing to and why. If I see that admiting will hurt the person then I'd rather not admit. I will find ways to get out of it and never repeat it again than admiting and end up hurt someone or end up loosing someone I love because of a silly mistake.

I can admit any mistakes ive maid, if there is a purpose for me to admit it. Otherwise i don't care so much about it, since i don't like getting reminded of it, if it doesn't have anything to do with others i don't like talking about it, if its just to talk about it.
Im nr 3, i don't like to say it to people but i can talk about it if i deem the cause of doing it worthy. Also people can ask about any mistake ive done and i can then tell it, its more polite than spitting it into their face.
