We've all been there, arguing a point and then you realize "Shit. I'm totally wrong." What do you do then?
How do you admit when you're wrong?

I admit when I am wrong. It just doesn't happen that often. LOL

I find that saying "I'm wrong" flat out saves a lot of time that would be otherwise wasted on arguing and fighting. It definitely strips my pride, but I'd rather just get along with the person that I'm arguing with than stress myself out with anymore possible altercations.

With my family and my boyfriend I normally just put a hand up and say "Okay. You're right." But if it's a friend (all of my friends love arguments/debates) or someone I don't like, I'll still argue my point no matter how wrong I know it is.

It haas to be shoved in my face or I have to have a moment of clarity to admit that I am wrong but when I do...even if the argument was long over I will admit it and allow the other person to vent a little if they feel they need to. It's what I like for people to do for me...it's not easy and I'm not always gracious but I try.

I admit it flat out, sure it sucks being wrong but hey we've all been there.

I admit it flat out, but it does take a lot to get me to realize it when I'm being an asshole. So the hard part isn't getting the apology, it's getting me to actually think I owe you one, lol.

Wrong? What do you mean wrong-I am NEVER wrong!!
It is a bit difficult for me, but I do admit I am wrong and apologize. If it is my husband this happens with I also throw in something fun, think sexual!! Keeps things interesting.

Like a band-aid, do it fast and move on

I usually admit it flat-out and apologize quickly.

I used to be the "whatever" person, but when I really figured out just how much I hated talking to the "whatever" person, I started working really hard on being able to admit when I'm wrong flat out. Pretending I'm not wrong when I am just makes me look like an idiot, so that pivotal "oh shit" moment usually happens out loud and is followed by "ahh dammit, you're right, I'm sorry."

I flat out admit it and often before I've been called on it. My mom used to tell me that punishing me as a child was pretty much pointless because the guilt I expressed was more of a punishment than anything she could ever do to me.
I also have a tendency to be way, way proactive in correcting mistakes--- if they can be corrected, that is. If not then I apologize profusely and try not to do it again.

If you're wrong, you're wrong. Denying it or blaming it on someone else is just going to cause more issues. It's best just to admit it.

I have no point with apologizing when I'm in the wrong. I have pride, but not enough that it won't allow me to say I was wrong.
I hate it when people can't admit they are wrong.

I try my best to admit it as soon as I realize I'm wrong. Sometimes it is incredibly difficult, though; it all depends on who I'm talking to -.-

"I'm sorry"
02/21/2012
admit it flat out as quick as possible

So what makes you think I was wrong??!!!

I try my best to admit when i'm wrong, but sometimes i try to slide on by

When it rarely happens, I just flat out admit it and squash the whole situation.

Some study showed that most of the time people will keep on arguing even when they've been proven irrefutably wrong, because an argument becomes more an issue of winning at any cost - or at least not appearing to lose - and the subject matter is actually less important. It's the difference between a reasoned debate or a discussion, and an argument.

I don't.

Admit it and apologize. Took me a looooong time to realize that was the right way to do it.

I'm always right.
09/01/2012
I just go "Well, you're right." Everyone makes mistakes, trying to hide it would make it worse
09/01/2012
I will admit when I am wrong.
09/01/2012
I just flat out admit it. It just works better that way.
