Why Can't We Admit When We're Wrong?

Thanks for making this post. It's a big issue that we see everywhere. I think it has a lot to do with the strong culture of competition: We want to always win. But that's not how we grow. We grow by learning from our mistakes. I think we all need a lot more practice learning to lose arguments. It's important to be able to stop and say, "You know what? You're right. I hadn't thought about it that way, and now I need to rethink my stance." Unfortunately, that's not how people like to operate.

I agree 100%. The culture of competition definitely makes sense to be a driving factor in people's unwillingness to accept defeat, no matter how petty the situation. And like you said.... we can only grow by learning from our mistakes.
