Do you get mad when someone corrects you?

Most of the time I don't get mad about it. I like to get corrected if i'm not doing things the right way. Because it improves my character or skills. But it is how the person corrects me. There are some who are so boastful and corrects you with some petty things that doesn't need for any correction anyway like obvious things. Well, I don't like that. There are few who just like seeing someone else's mistakes just to make them self superior. You still feel if they are concern or just ego tripper.

Hi, i don't get mad when someone corrects me. I actually thank them for correcting me because i get to know my mistakes and learn as well to correct it...:)

If they point out my error, I'm thankful to them for correcting it. If they correct wrongly what I did, I'm pleased to defend my opinion. Anyway, I won't get mad for this story.

hi. It really depends whether the correction is constructive or just baseless. I'd be glad if someone corrects me because that means that that persons cares for me and he wants me to improve or grow. But if the correction is something to put me down or to make look like an imbecile on my face, that is different.Let us admit that there are people like these whose life is incompleter without having caused hurt to another. Good day.

Hi Tukersheri, I dont get mad when somebody corrects me If i have done anything wrong. i would correct my mistakes and rather try not repeating them again

when someone corrects me, i get offended at first, especially if i don't know the person that well. but they said, true friends corrects each other a lot, so instead of getting offended, i just look at it in a positive way. =)

It doesn't make me mad all of the time but it does some of the time. I hate it when someone interrupts me and corrects me on almost everything I say though or butts in constantly with their knowledge. That gets on my nerves.

Haha, yes, I'm guilty. But not always. It sometimes becomes an ego problem when you believe what you are doing is right and suddenly someone interferes to show you the right way. That embarrassing disillusionment and the realization of your ignorance, coupled with subjugation, is what annoys the hell out of you. It looks childish to me myself, yet I can't help it. It is short lived though and I just laugh it off at the end. However, I never let that annoyance show on my face, or else I would look silly.

We all have a right to an opinion so if someone corrects me because they think they have the right opinion then I will not allow them to say that my opinion is wrong. When it comes to work I accept constructive criticism because I also need it in order to grow or improve my performance at work.

I know a guy who is such a know-it-all that I find myself losing respect for him everyday. He always corrects people. There's nothing really wrong with correcting people, but he is such a fault finder. He can't talk to a person without looking for that person's faults. And the most annoying thing is he doesn't like people correcting him. He always makes excuses for his mistakes no matter how lame his excuses are.

Sometimes I do get annoyed when people correct me. It depends on who it is and how they do it. If they know what they're talking about and if they do it in a non-snotty, respectful way, then I welcome the correction. I hate to correct others, but when I do, I try to do it in the same way that I would want it done to me. :)

Hello :) I have long overcome getting annoyed with people correcting me. I used to have a habit of breaking down when somebody corrects me. But I learned that I have to listen to these "constructive criticisms" that they tell me, IF they do so for the right reasons. And another thing, I listen to these corrections if THEY ARE DONE IN THE RIGHT WAY. I do believe that everything has the right time, the right place, and the right way. :)

When somebody corrects me I always try to accept my mistake . However there should be strong reasons behind that. If I realize that I have really done a mistake, it is better for me because most probably I would never do the mistake again. Its obviously irritating that someone guesses and tries to make fool of it. But I have seen that it is better to find the fix my mistake rather than getting angry and wasting time arguing with the person for the same.

It really depends on who, how, and my mood. Of course, when I already realized where I went wrong then someone corrected me, then I will get a little annoyed. When I am frustrated into something, sometimes even when someone correct me in a nice way, it will really make me mad.

It depends on how they do it. If they're rude, obnoxious, gloating, trying to shame or embarrass me, then it irks me and I tell them they're rude etc. Otherwise I might or might not get irked at my own mistake but not at them.

I will accept it if the approach is correct. I know I am not perfect, that's a fact and I don't mind to be corrected. But that particular person need to say it with only both of us at that place and don't mention it like trying to embarrass me. I also get the part that you said, someone think they know it all. That kind of person, really get on my nerve.

i get cross if people try to correct me even though i know i'm right,my boyfriend does this,but coz he's very stubbon i just let him think he's right

I don't get mad to a person if he corrects me as long as he did that for the purpose of clarification and not for making himself appear more better. If the correction is done in a nice way and not to humiliate any person, I think that is acceptable either it is done in public or private. There are really people who are like what you said, "know it all". People who just want to lift up their own chair... they do correct other people just to prove that they know more than that person--- that is really annoying. You can really tell if the person is doing that for his own sake and popularity.

I dont get upset when someone correct because when someone correct you a learnig new things :)

some on can tell you,what is right which is false. it's good for you
