Question

How do YOU handle being proved wrong?

Answer 1

I'll let you know when someone proves me wrong. I don't know everything but I only answer the questions I know the answers to so I don't give a wrong answer.

Answer 2

Much the same way people handle death.

1. Denial ("Wrong?"  I'm not wrong!)

2. Anger (YOU SUCK! I'M RIGHT!  I'M ALWAYS RIGHT!)

3. Bargaining (Well, I'm a little bit right. Give me that much.)

4. Depression (I can't believe this idiot was right and I was wrong.)

5. Acceptance (c**p.  I hate it when I'm wrong...)

Answer 3

I am always happy to discover the truth.

Answer 4

Depends on my mood.

1. Usually I say okay. Though I'm wounded from being wrong (I don't think you can avoid that) I calmly talk through it and agree.

2. Sometimes I'm silent.

3. Rarely I'm angry.

Answer 5

I handle it like a mature adult. I'm not always going to be right so i just accept i was wrong and take it as an opportunity to learn more. If you're always right, you can't learn.

Answer 6

guess my answer will be boring.

but you just learn to deal, it'll happen in life.  

Answer 7

How do you handle being PROVEN wrong?

Answer 8

Oh, it's kinda like when someone takes my Queen in chess, I sweep all the pieces of the board, exclaim that this is bullshit and go smoke a cigarette.
