Amen.
I resteemed this because this hits the nail on the head (And it is so fitting for me right now!!).
People cannot stand being wrong. Some more than others - myself included at times. It is just infuriating when someone knows damn good and well they are flat out wrong and just refuse to admit it, start acting out like a child by saying everything is always their fault or nitpicking every little thing the other person has ever done, no matter how long ago or how minor just to deflect the conflict off of themselves.
I do think it has to do with ego at times, however; especially when a person has an over-inflated one and they think the world owes them something. For instance, never taking the blame but instead always making excuses that someone or some situation slighted them, causing them to make the mistake or act the way they did in the first place.
It is just really sad when people are more worried about being right than they are about the relationships they have with others - no matter what type of relationship that is! 😒
