I am so tired of hearing people who keep on defending themselves when they already know that they are wrong. What does that give to them? Or they are just trying to save their reputation? Any how the truth will come out and this will just make them look funny in the end. Have you also defend yourself even you knew you are wrong? Or you are brave enough to admit you are wrong? For me, I would rather admit my fault because I am just human who commit mistake sometimes and that will not make me less of who I am.

Admitting that I am at fault when I made a mistake made me feel all the more human which is subjected to life's imperfection, so yes, I am not afraid to admit when I am wrong. Besides, depending yourself just so people can not tarnish your reputation even though you are at fault can get pretty tiring in the long run because you will be bombarded by guilt eventually.

That is true, admitting our mistake does not make us a less human for it will make as a better us. It is called humility. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I only see this behavior on teenagers and elders. They are so filled with pride that they would bend the truth into their favor. It's like keeping an umbrella when there's no rain, because the sun, like the truth, is harsh sometimes.

Their stubbornness i think makes it act that way but eventually they will learn how to accept their mistakes. Thanks for the reply!

Yes, when I make mistakes or I am wrong, I just admit it. I don't defend myself when I think that I am wrong. I encountered people who tried to defend themselves even that they are wrong.

It is not really easy to accept that you are wrong but admitting it will give a peace of mind right? thanks for the reply.

As they say, people are like wristwatches, we all have our different opinions and we always think that we are right. There are people who defend themselves just to prove that they are right. Some do not accept being defeated. Some cannot accept being wrong.

I am one one those who defend myself even if I am wrong...to a point. Sadly I can be a bit stubborn and I'll defend my opinion untill I absolutely know that im wrong just because im hoping what I believed is correct. Its something I've been working on trying to stop but it could be just how I am. For some people when they defend themselves and know they are absolutely wrong I think it could be that they are trying to save their reputation.

Exactly, saving your reputation but truth will always come out in the end. It is not easy to admit your mistake but that will vindicate you somehow. Thanks for sharing and I appreciate that you admit you are sometimes like that.
