You know i've never actually been one of those "meltdown" people when i'm proven wrong.

But my natural reaction is still to get irked. But i'm willing to go "my bad".

It's just most of time, i'm convinced -- i'm not wrong. And based on history, 99% of the time, i'm not. I'm not saying that to be arrogant, but it does add a bit of confidence in making assessments.

I know exactly what you're saying and I agree.

I beat myself up more than others when i'm wrong. It's like "GD'it your better than that! DO IT BETTER!"

I don't like being wrong but I don't have a problem admitting when I am. But I have a bigger problem with being wrong when it involves a girl I'm with. I'll admit it... eventually, but I'll drag that shit out even when I know I'm wrong and I don't even know why.
