Why Do Many People Have Such Difficulty Admitting When They Are Wrong?

It is actually unnerving to witness the lengths some people are prepared to go to avoid publicly admitting a mistake. It indubitably must be a form of mental illness because obviously everybody is wrong on occasion and that's just life. But if you can't acknowledge when it happens then you essentially have no capacity to learn. You are entirely reliant on external media to give you knowledge rather than taking it yourself from your own experiences.

If you can't analyse yourself or your own arguments critically then you have no business arguing with anybody. You should simply just shut up.

Most likely it is a manifestation of personal ego, and the potential dangers to society are enormous if people value their own feelings above objective truth. This is a very real by-product of the cultural worship of individualism. People have literally grown to believe that truth is a matter of opinion.

Wow! Here is a new first for this site where just about every insult has been hurled . Ming totally supports peadophillia here you go in his own truly gut churning words .......

๐Ÿ‘‰ In fact, this can streth as far as questioning why incest is 'wrong' and that has added sensitivity on top of belief's of those close to the person (either it will have been done and severely damage the person, been taboo and taken as the person hitting on those closest to them or crushing on the family if discussing with a friend or perhaps they are active and worked out it's all a crock of shit that it's outlawed as, when done right and with respect, it can result in no abuse at all happening to anyone involved but that is all high-risk and you'll be unreasonably thrown in jail for ever admitting you did it). ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

There you go how fucking sick is that , look at that sentence again
