Well if you don’t have a social disorder, compacted aptitude, or egocentric insecurities, it’s normal to immediately admit to it, explain your thought process, and thank them for the new clarity.
It’s easy and always works out great, especially for further discussion and exchanging of ideas.
But if you do have one or more of those other things, you become online entertainment as we watch you and another person just like you slog it out for 20 replies of absolute bullshit🪑🍿 Whether you’re right or not is pointless by then, it’s just the fact you’re still there which should say something.
Depends how you act from this point on
The worst part is that it depends how I think the other person will react to me admitting I’m wrong. Usually they’re angry and will take the win and use it as fuel to come at me for something else. That something else will be worse because I just admitted to being wrong so I’m probably wrong about this too, even when I’m not.
That’s exactly the reason why I (with individuals I believe to require it) try to point out a tiny detail that still somewhat sound like it formerly supported me while admitting it, or explaining in great detail what got me bamboozled. Just to distract the other person, which I do not trust to not immediately use my mistake against me, to such a degree they can’t do it. Alternatively swing it like “ooh, this is like when you got XY wrong!” so the playing field is somewhat even already before the other realises you just admitted something.
It sucks, but it’s better than not admitting it at all. Fortunately not a lot of people I know in my life require this.
Damn, allist politics are wild
I absolutely agree on that one lol 😂
