Is there a time that you were being offended when somebody tend to correct you?

I would be happy, accept correction from others. Well corrections coming from someone younger or older people. Sometimes, I am not aware, has made a mistake. So, I would be very happy, if someone would remind me. I am willing to be corrected in any case. I'll fix all my mistakes.

There is no picture perfect individual we have to admit that truth.When I say that I mean there is no perfect world we all commit mistakes and being corrected by someone is a good way to know that there are still people who cares about you and won't let you look pathetic in front of other people.But then again, it depends on how you were corrected.If a person corrected your acts in front of other people you both know that is the time you will ask why that person did that to you?you might think that it was intended so that you will get the shock of your life or just to belittle you in front of everybody.The best way for me to overcome that kind of situation is to make it like a joke and defend yourself in a nice way.There are people who are happy seeing others being picked on by some and those are the kind of people that you shouldn't be hanging out with be careful with them too because all they do is to correct you to make you small and belittled by some.If a friend corrected you secretly., meaning it's just the two of you then it's time to thank that friend of yours because that value your worth as a human being and won't let you belittled by some other people just by correcting you in a proper way.Those kind of people will be happy to see you grow and gain success and that's the type of people we should be hanging around.Age on my own opinion doesn't actually define the way they will correct you.Being old enough entitles you to many situations that you will be facing and had been through and for me I would rather believe an old man correcting me because he or she has been there and experienced that kind of situation while if you will believe a child ., I don't think that it will be a good idea.Yes, we can learn many things from a child because they are the most genuine type because they don't aspire and they don't lie but for credibility purposes., I am having second thoughts too a child only experienced little in life but I guess it's a case to case basis too...I don't mind if I was corrected but it should be in a nice way if I may add so that there won't be any problems at all.

I am not a perfect person so I welcome all corrections or criticisms on me provided they are done in a manner that is not meant to embarrass or to put me down. I like people who are honest enough to tell me I did wrong, or I should improve on certain areas. Of course I would not know unless someone tells me so I am not really offended with people who do that to me. I believe that those who hate instructions, corrections and constructive criticism are actually foolish.

Oh! Well! looks like we have something in common here. I have a friend that recently called me to see how I was doing. Well she is talking to me she gives me the impression that she thinks that I'm not very bright the way I handle my kids,to help them to find part time work, because she was "successful" with hers she think that she got it all made up,and the habit of telling me what I should do and than suggested me to take a vacation paid from her to go to her place, I said no thank you very much I'll be fine. I had to let her know that she is missing a big part of our story here, and that she is not in our shoes, we act differently than she is and I wish she would respect that, and would change her tone of voice because she does have an arrogant voice and yes she is younger then me which doesn't change anything for her but it does to me. I do like to talk more to my younger one that is 8 because he is not full of himself. She is not in the same province that I live for now and here they do things differently and yet she tells me but you should find this easily and do that no problem because she as an easy time to find work where she is but here it not that easy to find work that pays well so . that about it.

I think, we have all those moments whrein we got offended if were being corrected. It will depend on the nature or the timing of the event. When I'm not in the mood, definitely, I will take it negatively. I'm like that, but things change, as I grow old, I'm open for correction and for constructive criticisms. As long as it is good for me and for others, I will be gladly to recive some of it. Thanks

Yes, I have been to similar situations before. Well, correcting someone depends on your approach towards saying it to them. Sometimes, the tone of voice can be insulting or the usage of inappropriate words are not good to hear. When I'm also in a bad mood or I don't like someone and they correct me in a wrong timing, it is also a factor. People should consider someone's feelings when correcting. Being also in public while correcting someone out loud can also be offending. Some people also won't accept being corrected. As what you have said, their pride holds up unto them. I don't like being corrected with persons who project themselves as more highly than everyone else. If I'm corrected by an elderly or someone who deserves some respect, I would gladly accept that.

I would be offended if that person rubs a mistake on my face without consideration of my feelings, or of what i did before even giving comments or correcting me, especially if i know that the person is just trying to get into my nerves. I'd say you would agree with me that there are those people that even if they do not have anything good to say, they just love to bash people and inappropriately make you feel incompetent about what you do... without basis and just for the sake of it... they themselves aren't even able to do or even match what you are able to do. =(

I dont mind if someone correcting me, i would be thankful as long as its for my own good and as long as i can see that the person is kind enough to tell that to me and not that kind of sarcastic as if i felt that sarcastic way then i would rather ignore and laugh them about it, We cant avoid having mistakes though sometimes i correct my nephew and niece with their english and grammar though i know im not that perfect too so sometimes they also correct my english and vice versa, though we dont normally shout it in front of other people to be embarrass but just to ourselves.

I don't usually like to be be corrected. it makes me feel like I am being scolded instead. I can not help but to feel a bit put off and offended when someone tries to correct me. It may niot mean to be intended that way but that how it usuaklly will end.

It depends on the situation and the manner of correcting. We are not perfect and are prone to errors and mistakes. Hence when somebody calls my attention to something that i need to correct and find his claim as valid, then i would be thankful for who knows if this had not been attended to this might result to further damage. But there are persons who are natural "fault finders" and and they do these to glorify themselves hence, if i'm aware that intention to correct is born our of someone's insecurity i just ignore it.

I don’t mind it if other people would correct me under any given circumstance. But it depends on how the correction is being delivered. There are times that if the person who would give me suggestion would sound as if he/she is the only one who knows the thing more than anybody, I get offended. But I accept corrections even if that is the case. I know that even if we know some things, there are also things that we don’t know. I even ask my children about other things because I know that they are more knowledgeable on the matter.

When I strongly believe in something or if I have practiced hard to learn something and am either proven wrong or corrected, I do sometimes get frustrated. However, I believe this is a universal human tendency. I think the most unfortunate part of such situations is that often times, we do not listen to the advice others give us when we are proven wrong or corrected because I think it is natural for us to want to be right.

I am open to criticisms, but it needs to be in a professional way. I will accept it, but if it is beyond the limitation. That will be another story.
