Or course not, I'm married. My personal Jiminy Cricket (Mrs Didge) always lets me know when I'm wrong.

Seriously? If you can't admit your mistakes you're never going to develop either personally or in a relationship.

Nope, not at all!  I've sometimes been "wrong" even if I know for a fact that I'm not....just to keep from arguing.....not anymore though.

No I don't but I always explain why I wasn't right.

I don't know. I haven't been wrong yet, so no admissions have been necessary.

I don't have a hard time admitting I'm wrong, I just have a hard time saying it. It's not that I don't want to admit it, it's just that I don't know how to say it without sounding awkward. Like, if someone corrects you, you don't just say "I'm wrong" and nothing after that. I have difficulty wording the sentence

Depends on who I'm talking to. If it's someone that gets on my nerves easily, I REFUSE to admit I'm wrong. If it's my friends or family I don't really care.

I easily admit and accept if i done or said something wrong and quickly will do my best to correct it. But:

1.First of all, i need to understand my mistake! Some people react so fast and judge without being sure if the person knows what he has done! I can't accept anything when i don't know if it's been wrong. So i need to be acknowledged when i seem unaware.

2.I need to be convinced that i've done something wrong, when i be sure that i've done nothing wrong, i'll stand by it and will never apologize for something i never committed, some people confuse this with "not wanting to accept your mistake" no i want to, the point is i don't think it's been wrong, but you think ? Then convince me, otherwise, i'll have nothing to be sorry for.

Nope.  At my age, I've had plenty of time to make mistakes, admit them, and learn from them.  Nobody is right all the time; it's just part of life.

Yes, because I want to prove to my parents that I'm not as stupid as they think I am!

Fight verbally with them is never ever going to prove it. Never. Just makes everyone long term distrust, hateful, angry, hostile and bitter for years. Best drop those arms and work on PEACE, love and forgiveness.

Yeah my Mom said earlier to me, "Jackston, you're never going to win at a back talking competition against your parents. You will always lose." I learned from that right away.
