How hard is it for you, to admit you are wrong?

I have no issue with admitting that I'm wrong. When it comes to topics that I know very little about, then I typically say at the end of everything that I might be completely off base with it. If I'm proved wrong with something I do know, then I have no problem declaring that I am wrong. I used to be a lot more stubborn about such things, but as I've gotten older, I realized that I'm not always right and will step aside from my thought. I've just come to be more understanding of such things in time.
 
I don't have any issue in admitting when I'm wrong, in a matter of fact, I jump on it, lol.

The way I see is, I'd rather say I was wrong first then have someone rub it in my face later.
 
^ Exactly.

I rather admit I'm wrong, then have someone rub it in my face later. However, if I'm positive I'm right, I'm really stubborn. Blame the star sign.

Admitting I'm wrong has never really been a big issue with me. I'm not like "OMG MY PRIDE". Get a grip. xD
 
Actually if I by some miracle am proven wrong I admit it and be done with it...its rare thet I believe im wrong but if I am I will gladly admit it...I think I tend to take it all in stride...I honestly dont mind admitting it...but I do have to believe I am wrong to admit it...If I think im right well then its battle time lol...."
 
I don't typically have difficulty admitting it when I'm wrong. I know I'm not perfect or above error. There are times when I don't handle it well, however. A lot depends on what I'm wrong about, or on the person accusing me of being wrong. If they're a stuck-up prick and end up being right about something that's important to me or something I'm knowledgeable about, then it's a tougher pill to swallow.

For the most part, I have little to no problem with it.
 
I'll argue with people nothing serious or dead serious but will always try and come away with a sense of having learned sumthin'.When someone tries to tell me about myself l will dismiss it right awaycoz' l am very deliberate in my actions and l know my self very well
Arrogance? maybe.....but in most other respects l can admit l'm wrong......but does'nt happen very often lol!
 
It's quite a hassle for me, actually. I've realized in the middle of numerous arguments that I was flat out wrong the entire time, and I still argued my point.

I'm trying to avoid doing this.
 
I usually don't have a problem with admitting I'm wrong if I obviously am. I can be stubborn about things sometimes but I'm not delusional. If someone presents a clear, logical reason why I'm wrong and I can't think of a counter example I will just admit that I'm wrong unless it's one of those cases where no one is right or wrong.
 
It really depends on who I am arguing with. If I am arguing with someone who is very arrogant and condescending then I have a very tough time. In fact, I usually keep arguing even long after I realize that I am wrong by bringing up pointless stuff that doesn't have much relavance. This is mostly because I hate it when someone on their high horse is in the right, and then afterwards they do subtle things to rub it in. And it's even more frusterating when I think of a good comeback long after the arguement is over.

If it is with someone pleasant, then I can usually admit when I am wrong. There are times when I still have trouble, specificially if it is something that I feel strongly about. But usually I can admit I am wrong.

That's pretty much me. if I'm talking with someone who will be sensible, accepting and also admit to be wrong, then I'll also fess up to my mistakes, etc. If you're some a-hole who keeps on arguing a point long after it's expired and I've long since given a good point back, then I don't mind arguing for the sake of it, including ignoring any points that are not in my favor. Of course, by then the whole thing is a sham, and I don't care whether I'm right or wrong, so much as sticking it to someone who's whole purpose to show how right they are, even when they ain't.

Not the best way to be I know, but we are what we are.
 
I'd rather admit that I'm wrong. Simply saying "Oh, really? I didn't know that." is a lot less embarrassing than trying to keep going on with what you were trying to convince the other person.

However, if the person is arrogant and only thinks that they're right for silly reasons, then I would have a problem with saying that I'm wrong. I wouldn't want to give them the right to go on and on about how I was wrong.
 
Not really that hard. When I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I'll admit it. I don't always need to be right about everything.
 
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)
