Why can't others just admit when they are wrong? life would be so much easier

[down hearted]

Our minds are a powerful thing, there is so much misunderstanding of what really is in front of us because we ASSUME more than what it really is. Even gossiping about others is a misunderstanding and misleading of an individual since we alter the story so many times and some even do it to their convenience therefore the truth is not even true at all. There are so many grudges held between one another and if we would just simply understand each other and acknowledge that we have been wrong as well so many issues can be prevented.

I realized that many people do not take responsibility for their actions and therefore put the blame on others and don't admit that they were at fault.

 

I admit when am wrong, yet others don't, i don't understand it how hard is it to say, you know what, I'm truly sorry i messed up i was WRONG and will not do it again and keep their word. Things would be so much easier in life to just admit to your own mistakes when they are made. Relationships would be so much more painless too. For instance, my grandmother won't admit she can be a little unjust at times. I told her to be just nicer to others, she fights with me because she says thats her attitude and others have to deal with it.

 

Thats where she is wrong no one has to deal with anybody's rudeness. Why can we admit we are all wrong sometimes. Why don't people take responsibility for their actions, why not make it right and stop saying sorry if its going to happen again and again. Why not learn from your mistake and stop repeating them and justifying them and apologizing for it if its going to take place once more.

 

….anyways, i was just thinking so many things could be avoided if people would actually listen and come to understanding with each other. my grandma is so wrong, and unjust and won't admit she can be a feisty firecracker some times for no reason at all.

 

so much drama can be avoided if people would just admit their faults when they mess up don't you think ? just saying ..

I agree with you 100%, especially at this point in my life. Taking responsibility for you own actions is by far one of the most mature, powerful, uplifting, and freeing things a person can do. saying things like:

 

please forgive me. I did not mean or intend to hurt you

I forgive you for. I know you did not mean or intend to hurt me

 

when genuine, are some of the most powerful things that can be stated! AND, by actions try really hard not to continue doing those things again.

exactly, i don't understand why some apologize and then make the same mistakes and continue apologizing for them. Gossiping is another thing that really ticks me off, because it gives a bad impression of someone without you even getting to know them. Where i used to work at was 90% women that worked there and oh my they would rip each other to pieces with gossiping about one another it was so bad that one time they all turned on each other out of nothing. Our words are a powerful thing. How would you deal with gossip? I just try to ignore it but boy does it bug me when there are false accusations behind our backs.

It always seems to have to do with ego. Either yours or theirs.

My husband usually has to be forced to ever admit he's done anything wrong. Otherwise he will always argue with me non-stop...even when he realizes he's wrong, he will just try and find ANYTHING to justify his actions.

i tend to see when soemonehas donesomethign wrong tome....i am partly responisble....for failingto say ouch ....you are hurting me.....my inability to say no...........so i see both sides........that helps when they dont apologize..i apologize to myself..that i know.....they are not only to blame..is comforting...deb

Don't argue with women, it just doesn't work out, they have a completely different set of logic and two sets of rules.

 

My wife hates it when I leave my coat on the chair, papers on the table, she shouted at me last night to clean up before i came to bed.

I get up this morning her coat is on the chair and her purse is emptied out across the table! If I confront her about it its me that's being aggressive…

 

Yes honey, you're right honey, as always...
