Does admittting yur mistakes make you weak

Damn sure it makes you strong my friend

I think that being able to admit your mistakes makes you strong BUT you also have to learn from them and change what needs to be changed....To me its a combination..If you admit your mistakes but dont do anything to make sure it doesnt happen again and then it continously happens IMO that makes you weak...and foolish

Good question as always my friend, I asked myself that question, and straight away I'd say strong, because how many people do admit mistakes? In today's society so many people are quick to blame others, hence the sue culture and not taking responsibility for your actions. For someone to admit they are wrong I respect more than someone who refuses to admit they are wrong, those people put me off and push me away, those that stand up and say look I was in the wrong I apologize are far more mature and deserve respect. In regards to making you weaker or stronger, well definitely stronger, because if you can admit to yourself and others you have done wrong then you can quickly learn and become a better person in life

It definitely makes one stronger. With the egos we have, it takes a lot of courage to stand up and say 'I'm sorry. I made a mistake'. I always admit my mistakes if I realize it...but it does take me some work to muster up that courage.

Definitely stronger. Denying is easy, admitting is harder to do. Thus admitting your mistakes would definitely make you stronger. Also, admitting your mistakes gives you room to learn from those mistakes. The people around you will also respect you more if you can admit your own mistakes, and not just pointing out other people's mistakes.

Im more than happy to admit my mistakes,and no i certainly dont think that it shows any weakness in character to admit them.I think its more annoying when people wont admit that they make mistakes,because then you have what they think is the perfect person,and as we all know that person doesnt exist!!

Admitting one's mistakes shows integrity and strength of character. ; but what is importyant is -- with how a person is able to conduct oneself even after admitting to one's weakness. The person ho has admitted to his weakness should first of all do it sincerely and in a heartfelt manner. Just saying that 'I have done something wrong' or 'I have hurt you' are not just enough.It is the heart that accompanies it is what that really counts. A heartfelt admission speaks positively of a person and an admission under duress does not speak well of anyone.This is my conviction.

I believe it makes people stronger. When you admit your mistakes it shows you to be an honest person and people will take what you say seriously.

I think admitting my mistakes makes me stronger. I think it will make us weaker if we do not own up to them.

Not sure if it makes you strong unless it takes courage for you to to. What it makes you honest and its always good to be ethical.

It will make me strong because somtimes I do need to be strong to admit my mistakes. Depending on what kind of mistake I made.

Posting this response is probably a mistake, and I admit it. I don't feel stronger yet. My question or comment is: You actually get pennies for posting these one sentence topics? When I get email notifications of your discussions, topics such as do you remember somebody's smell, or do you join the kids in your neighborhood as they're playing? Just questions -- nothing describing your feelings or behavior -- interesting. I've got a book of questions. If that's the way to go, ok, I'll play. Well, tell me about this mistaken notion I've commented on. :p

It takes a strong person to show the world who they really are. People tend to forget we are human, we will make mistakes. Why not be honest with yourself and admit...? By being able to accept your mistakes, you can learn to not repeat them. And by learning to accept our mistakes, we learn to accept ourselves.

admitting my mistakes is not a sign of weakness but instead it's a sign of humility...

I think it makes you a strong person to say hey I made a mistake. Lets face it we all do at some time. Mistakes are how we learn, and we are never two old/young to learn something. That is part of life. No one should ever be afraid of saying they made a mistake.

I do not believe that there are mistakes, only lessons. Everything happens for a reason and if we beat ourselves up everytime we fail short, we would never do anything else. The key is learning the lesson from the experience and doing your best not to repeat it. Some people never learn the lesson, because they try to make it seem like they know everything already. The biggest lie one can ever tell is the one they believe themselves.

I don't think that admitting once's own mistakes can make you feel weak.. It adds to your strength that you have the courage to stand upto your deeds.. Even though you may have the fear of being criticized for ur mistake but admitting it will make them think twice.. And u will feel satisfied.. And i think it will be a better way to improve upon you mistakes.. After all people learn from thir own mistakes..

On the contrary, admitting my mistakes make me stronger since nobody is perfect and we learn from our mistakes. I admire those people who take responsability for their actions instead of always blaming others for their mistakes.

Admitting mistakes will make us strong obviously. Nowadays you won't find people who makes mistakes and will admit it -- there are very rare people who makes mistakes and admit it. I sometimes feel harder to admit my own mistake -- though I know it will make me strong only but I think sometimes ego comes in between which stops me from admitting my mistake.

hi balasri, i can hardly notice whether it makes me weak or strong. what i can say is i feel relieved when i admit my mistakes. feeling relieved, i will get more energy to solve the troubles i created because of my mistakes. there are times also when i think it's not good idea to admit my mistakes, and i just do all the way to fix it.
