When you make a mistake, do you make up excuses to explain yourself? If so, do you think people believe you? Explain ....

i think that if i try to explain myself, it will appear as if i'm being defensive. If i really made a mistake, i would admit it straight out and get it over with.

I think people think a whole lot more of you if you just admit that you made a mistake.

I used to, but I think most people think you are just lying when you do that.

I used to be really bad about making up excuses. Now I try to just admit I made a mistake.

Sometimes i admit my mistake and sometimes i make excuses. And when i make excuses sometimes people understand that i m making excuses and they just forgive me without saying anything.
