Does it give you immense satisfaction to prove someone wrong and they admit that you were in the right? ;)

To me it does. Right now, life is just a big academic team match for me, just answering questions right all the time, and I mean all the time.

It's satisfying proving someone wrong when they so vehemently support their own cause and statements and you are just sure that he or she is wrong. It gives the impression that I'm smarter, though I really am not; but that is just my take on it when I'm in that mood.
 
Yes it does. If i know or think im right about something and someone disagrees i will never give up arguing for my beliefs. so when the other person accepts that im rgiht i like it. i hate being proven wrong. HATE IT.
 
Yes and No. If i am right thats kool. If not, i like to know i am wrong so i can be right next time. So in a way i am always right. But i'm not.....but i am. Ok...that was lame...sorry.
 
Yar, being able to take criticism is a great asset, though I'm not really a big believer, as I hate any criticism to myself....well, about 50 percent that are non-constructive. :monster:

I can be pretty flexible in opinions though, and if someone brings up a valid point that I missed, I agree with it. ^_^
 
I love being right! It's something that makes you feel so good inside. It's great. haha. I hate when you think something is so right then it turns out to be wrong. Ugh. Lame. I feel like crap then.
 
yeah definately especially if the person im argueing with is so defiant. I wont rub it in or anything i just give them a wee smile lol which works just as well
 
It feels good when I prove someone wrong and Im cleary right. And usually it happens with my grandfather. He is a stubborn man and believes everything he says is gospel and right, but Im the only one who will stand up and tell him hes clearly wrong.

It can lead into some heated arguements with people. But if Im right and I know that you are 100% wrong, Im not backing down lol.
 
Oi, same thing with my grandpa, a tad bit stubborn for my liking, to be honest.
Even though he's clearly wrong, he just mows on ahead...but he's pretty likeable in the opposite state. ^_^

I mean, geez, when it's obviously wrong, what's the point of arguing it further, eventually you'll dig in a hole, and someone's bound to point something out and you can't redeem yourself afterwards.
 
Do I like being right? Of course, especially when someone's being ignorant or a complete ass about something I happen to know real well. Lol, I'm sure everyone's run into or knows one or two these people in life.

Don't get me wrong. I'm usually a very quiet and easy going person by nature. I'm not one to make a big deal or start attacking someone for getting a detail wrong here or there, but like I said, if that person's being a complete ass about something I know real well, then I'll go after ya with a vengeance.
 
Haha! Heck yeah, whenever someone tries to challenge me in Euro history and I know for a fact that I'm right, it's just oh so satisfying to prove them wrong. :]

And when they argue about it and kinda...flame me a bit, it just gets a bit better in my mind. Sorry about that, I don't usually feel that way about arguments, but with history, I'm pretty touchy on everything...I like to think of myself as a master of it, really...though, I'm not. -_-
 
Of course I like being right. Who doesn't? There's this certain satisfaction that comes rushing over you and that's like...the second best feeling in the world.

However, I'm not the type of person who goes and research certain topics just to prove that I'm right. If we're having an argument about something, or debating, even...and I know for a fact that I'm right, I don't shove it in their faces like, "Bwahaha, I'm right, you're wrong. You suck! :P "

I actually try my best to not make the person feel stupid...because I know what it feels like to be wrong. God knows how many times that's happened on my lifetime. Too many. That's probably the second worst feeling in the world.



 
Of course I love being right. Academically, I'm no dumbie but it really doesn't bother me if I am wrong in that manner. My real strength in life is understanding people on a deep level. Actually, it seems like something you'd be pretty good at Warb. However, I think it is my personal strength, even though I don't come off as a very sensitive kinda guy.
 
Being right is my ecstacy. And my, have I been pumped full of it. :monster:

I do enjoy the satisfaction of completely disproving, say, another's theory on a certain subject. Correcting the wrongs of other people is -to me- a rewarding feeling. Be it academically, or something pertaining to human nature... I love it.
 
Yes, it does give me a feeling of satisfaction when I know I'm right about something, regardless of what everyone else is babbling around. However, it can also be somewhat frustrating when I'm not believed even though I'm convinced I know the truth.

I don't go out of my way to prove I'm right, however...I just hate conflict in general, and usually if someone wants to believe a certain thing, I'll let them. I found that wanting to be right all the time gives more trouble than it's worth sometimes.

I don't mind admitting I'm wrong...I do it all the time. It's somewhat embarrassing if you've been going on about how you're right and you're proven wrong in the end, though.

Click to expand...

Haha, that's the also the best feeling in the world if you've accomplished something like that. I think I have in school and I got a ton of extra credit, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was about.

Anyway, yeah, if I find that the other person is oh so stubborn about his theory or proposition or whatever, I try to look for every possible hole, every possible point of attack so I can undermine it, and I'm sure he does the same thing. :P
And when he builds up his theory in the wrong direction and when I can attack it, I strike. :ninja:
...otherwise I support the people who support my view if I myself am not allowed to talk.
 
Of Course I like being right.
I highly doubt anyone likes to be wrong.
 
Yah I love being right because I rarely am right about anything =p so it feels good to be right about something once in awhile
 
There are occasions when I like being wrong. This is an addition to my previous post. If you learn something new by being wrong which later allows you to be right in a similar argument, then I don't mind being wrong. But only if there's something to take away from the experience.
 
I love being right most of the time as well, it's just a good feeling. If someone tells me an opinion of mine is wrong, I will argue with them and tell them that I'm not wrong. I can't stand it when people tell you that your beliefs or opinions are wrong. Sometimes I don't find it bad to be wrong about something, that's how you can learn things. If I know I'm right about a certain subject or answer, I won't give up fighting until the person knows I'm right! :lol:
