Had this conversation with my wife early in our marriage. I got the, “fine, I’m wrong, you’re right. You’re always right.” And I said, “I’m not always right. I’m often wrong. I just don’t make a big deal out of it, apologize if I need to, and we all move on and you forget about it. You remember all the times you’re wrong because it always turns into a conversation like this.” Then she started noticing and started being more chill about being wrong (she grew up in a VERY shitty household with a narcissist mother where admission of wronghood was an opportunity to get absolutely shit on).
It’s amazing how a simple, “oh, you’re right, my bad” can improve your life and reputation.
Ugh. yes. im in tech and people seem shocked if I say I don’t know something. interviews to. Its like I don’t know what that is but is it related to X or can you give ma an idea of what area that word is from.
Being wrong.
I’m wrong sometimes, no big deal. Finding out what is correct is just another learning experience.

On this note. Being right.
People are terrified of disagreeing with people and ruining the harmony.
