Why is it so hard for homo sapiens to admit when they're wrong?

I honestly don’t think I have for a major situation. I like telling the truth so I don’t have to live in a lie. It’s been so long since I’ve tried to get away with something.

If its my fault I take blame, I guess I am just honest with myself.

And homosapien is one word ; )

It might because they want to protect their status,achievement,and popularity (some people won’t want to feel ashamed). I personally prefer to be honest.

Anyone makes mistakes one time or another and we all should be able to admit them. Usually people lies just to get over them and not be punished. I made a lot of mistakes, not big ones, but did. But we should admire the ones which can admit them.

I always just say that I am wrong if I was wrong.

I don’t think it is hard for everyone, just some people.

It’s pride (the bad kind, the likes of which goeth before a fall), plain and simple.

Because admission of fallibility can lead to isolation.

Hubris is a terrible thing. I’d much rather face that I just screwed up than create an elaborate story about how it wasn’t really my fault.

Over the years I’ve done my share of finger-pointing for all the reasons stated above. But II honestly can’t recall one time when admitting a mistake was a mistake (unless I’ve blocked it out). What I’ve learned is that things usually turn out better when I own up. And I really admire other people who do it.

People admire someone who admits a wrong straight away. I wouldn’t want to try to keep up a lie.
