I'm always right

I sort of had this problem for a little while due to growing up with a mother who had the same attitude problem.

It rubbed off on me. =/

She never really showed any of us kids how to gracefully accept she was wrong and that it was okay to be wrong.

We just saw her always arguing her point with dad (which was always a ridiculous one) and thought that it was a bad and shameful thing to be wrong because of the way she acted about it.

So therefore I grew up the same way always wanting to be right no matter how wrong I was.

But since living with Steve I've gotten better.

I'd rather lose my pride instead of trying to constantly be right and lose my Steve instead. =/ He's really good about admitting when he's wrong and saying when I'm right. So now he's kind of rubbing off on me which I'm rather happy about. >.<
 
I'm pretty stubborn myself so, I like to try and prove other's wrong. Unless I know it's going to end in an argument (not get resolved) But, for the most part I definitely try to tell them that they're wrong and i'm right xD just for the hell of it cause, that's how I am.

Logically, i'm probably not always right but hey, whatever xD i'ma freakin' genius (I know I am) and, people just need to be told the fuck off dammit. Like stfu you're wrong. :mokken: (depending on the situation)


As for other people, I don't like know it all's who think they're always right :mokken: they just get on my nerves 'cause they're too stubborn and blind to see another person's side of the argument. Nor do they ever listen to what you have to say because, what you say doesn't matter to them. >.<

Even though i'd like to believe i'm right I know when to give up xD if someone proved me wrong, i'll accept my defeat. Will I like it? No but, sometimes its just not worth the constant back and forth 'cause, it might make things worse/ more difficult then they need to be. I've been in many situations where this occurred so, I would know from personal experience not to go down that road xD.

Sometimes, if you're playing around, it can be quite entertaining to try and prove other person wrong xD.

I should be a lawyer :mokken: Anyone who disagrees i'll just yell 'OBJECTION' :griin:
 
To a certain degree I'm quite similar in that I'm stubborn to the point I'll throw my opinion about regardless of whether it's against the majority or if people don't like it. I don't hate people who think they're always right, I'm just not going to sit there and ignore something if I think I have an equally valid point no matter how much evidence I need to present. Nevertheless, I don't close myself off to other peoples' views either, I have the greatest respect to anyone who can construct a good argument whether I agree with it or not.

This sounds a lot like me!

When it comes to people who always think they're right... As long as they respect the opinion of others and don't treat others like idiots, I'll just leave them be. If they're nasty about people who hold a different opinion, I might protest a bit. And then they get on my nerves A LOT. :hmph: I have a couple of ex boyfriends who insist that their (strange) opinions are the correct ones and will argue to make others look stupid...

If people ARE right, I do find it hard to admit I'm wrong... In the worst case scenario, I'll probably just go really quiet and 'agree to disagree,' whilst shooting myself in the foot for embarrassing myself. :wacky: In the better scenario, I'll ask them more about their argument so I can think about it further. :)

I know it's not bad to be wrong, as long as you can admit it gracefully, but I always feel stupid. :sad: This could be due to the fact that my mum always HAS to be right and just can't back down. :gonk:
 
Ugh, this is totally my Mom. She always says that. Me being me, I naturally have to challenge her to her claim of always being right. Most of the time I lose, I'll admit. But damn it, I do give her my best shot. Nobody else is willing to step up to her (totally looks at Dad), so I must fight the battle myself. It may not be today, or tomorrow. But one day, I will prove that she's not always right.
 
i dont mind being wrong. it shows a misunderstanding or a gap in knowledge and if you claim you dont experience either of these you're just a liar.

if i think that someone who believes they're right all the time has said or done something incorrect then i'll say so. i probably tend to argue the point more than is necessary given that i know the person isn't going to change their mind. at least not within the scope of the conversation. usually those sorts of people find it hard to differentiate between an opinion and a fact. ie if you discuss a moral issue with them they will talk as if their moral code is the moral code i dont like that very much and i find they tend to get quite aggressive if their point of view is questioned. i definitely think i give conversations like that too much attention. i dont claim to be a saintly unopinionated person but i like to think that if someone makes a valid point about a view i may have on something i will consider changing that view.
 
I don't!

Choosing not to have a discussion with someone who doesn't want to discuss something just seems like common sense to me.

In earnest, I don't think that elaborating on why you think this type of person is wrong has any effect at all. Anything you want to say only needs to be said once, repeating it or expanding on it is just a waste of time and effort. I mean, they are obviously a stubborn kind of person and are probably known for it.

If they ever feel like they're wrong, they will never admit it - but acknowledge it on a personal level instead.
 
Everyone in my family is pretty much "always right" Especially my mum. My old man would always say "because i said so." and my mum would just keep arguing until she's blue in the face. I try not to have those types of conversation with the parents, because you can't get anywhere. Not now, not ever. :mokken: Just say your piece and leave them alone-- not worth a pointless argument.

Coming from a family of stubborness, I'm also stubborn. I don't think I'm always right, and I know that *most* the time i'm not right, but I get my word out there. I try my hardest to get what I want. Now I don't really argue per say, but my stubborness does get in the way sometimes.
